Step-by-step solution
5 stepsTo construct an angle of using only a compass and a pencil, we can combine a angle and a angle. The angle can be obtained by bisecting a angle, which itself is a bisection of a angle.
Draw a ray and construct a angle.
- Draw a ray .
- Place the compass at point and draw a large arc that intersects at point .
- With the same compass width, place the compass at and draw an arc that intersects the first arc at .
- With the same compass width, place the compass at and draw an arc that intersects the first arc at .
- With the compass at and then at , draw two arcs that intersect each other above the first arc at point .
- Draw a ray from through . This ray, , forms a angle with (i.e., ).
Extend the initial ray and construct a angle.
- Extend the ray backwards through to form a straight line. Let be a point on this extended line to the left of .
- Place the compass at and draw an arc that intersects the extended line at . (This might be the same arc as in Step 1 if it was drawn large enough).
- With the same compass width, place the compass at and draw an arc that intersects the initial large arc (centered at ) at point .
- Draw a ray from through . This ray, , forms a angle with (i.e., ).
Bisect the angle to get .
- Place the compass at and draw an arc inside .
- With the same compass width, place the compass at and draw another arc that intersects the arc drawn from . Let this intersection point be .
- Draw a ray from through . This ray, , bisects . So .
Bisect the angle to get .
- Place the compass at and draw an arc inside .
- Let be the point where intersects the initial large arc (centered at ). With the same compass width, place the compass at and draw another arc that intersects the arc drawn from . Let this intersection point be .
- Draw a ray from through . This ray, , bisects . So .
Combine the angles to get .
The angle is the sum of and . Since is the extension of , is the angle constructed in Step 1.
The final answer is .
