Draw using a compass and ruler $ 135^{\circ} $ at $ C $ in the line segment CD


Drawing an angle of 135 degrees at C of CD line segment given in the figure.

Steps of Construction:

1). Use a ruler and draw a Line segment CD of any convenient length. 
2). Now use the compass and open it to any convenient radius. And with C as a center, draw an arc which cuts line segment CD at X. 
3). Again use the compass and opened to the same radius and with X as a center, draw an arc which cuts the first arc at A. 
4). Again use the compass and opened to the same radius and with A as a center, draw another arc which cuts the first arc at B. 
5). Again use the compass and opened to the same radius and with A & B as centers, draw two arcs which cut each other at E. 
6). Join CE and extend it to F. 
7). Above formed angle, FCD = 90 Degrees. 
8). Extend DC to Z. 
9). Since ZD is a straight line, so formed Angle FCZ = 90 Degrees.
10). Again use the compass and open it to any convenient radius and with C as the center, draw an arc which cuts line segment CD at P and CF at Q. 
11). Again use the compass and opened to the same radius (as of step 10) and with P & Q as centers and draw two arcs that cut each other at a point G. 
12). Join CG and extend it to H. 
13). HC is the bisector of angle FCD. 
Therefore, Angle FCH = Angle HCD = ½ of Angle FCD = 45 Degree each 
14). Now observe that: 
Angle ZCF = 90
Angle FCH = 45
Add both the angles and we get 
Angle ZCF + Angle FCH = 9O + 45 = Angle ZCH 
So Angle ZCH = 135 degrees
