Using ruler and compasses only, draw an angle of measure $135^o$.


To do:

We have to draw an angle of measure $135^o$ using a ruler and compasses only.

Solution:


Steps of construction:

(i) Draw a line $DC$ and take a point $B$ on it.

(ii) With centre $B$ and a suitable radius draw an arc meeting $BC$ at $P$.

(iii) With centre $P,$ cut off arcs $PQ, QR$ and $RS$.

(iv) Bisect as $QR$ at $T$ and join $BT$ and produce it to $E$.

(v) Bisect the arc $KS$ at $RL$.

(vi) Join $BL$ and produce it to $A$.

Therefore,

$\angle ABC = 135^o$.
