90o

Open in App
Solution

We can construct a 90 angle either by bisecting a straight angle or using the following steps.

Step 1: Draw the arm PA.
Step 2: Place the point of the compass at P and draw an arc that cuts the arm at Q.
Step 3: Place the point of the compass at Q and draw an arc of radius PQ that cuts the arc drawn in Step 2 at R.
Step 4: With the point of the compass at R, draw an arc of radius PQ to cut the arc drawn in Step 2 at S.
Step 5: With the point of the compass still at R, draw another arc of radius PQ near T as shown.
Step 6: With the point of the compass at S, draw an arc of radius PQ to cut the arc drawn in step 5 at T.
Step 7: Join T to P.APT is 90.
