(i) Steps:
Draw line segment BC of any suitable length.
With B as centre, draw an arc of any suitable radius. With the same radius, draw arcs with the vertices of given angles as centres. Let these arcs cut arms of the angle x at the points Q and P, arms of the angle y at points S and R and arms of the angles z at points T and U.
From the arc, with centre B, cut MN = PQ = x, NO = SR = y and OX = TU = z.
Joint BX and produce upto point A.


Hence, ∠ ABC = x + y + z.
(ii) Steps:
Draw line segment BC of any suitable length.
With B as centre, draw an arc of any suitable radius. With the same radius, draw arcs with the vertices of given angles as centres. Let these arcs cut arms of the angle x at the points P and Q, arms of the angles y at points R and S and arms of the angles z by at the points T and U.
From the arc, with centre B, cut MN = PQ = x, NO = PQ = x , OX = RS = y and XY = TU = z.
Joint BY and produce upto point A.


Hence, ∠ABC = 2x + y + z.
