Question: Draw an angle of measure \({127^o}\) and construct its bisector....
Draw an angle of measure 127o and construct its bisector.
Solution
To answer this question, we first need to understand the concept of using compass in order to get the bisector of any angle.
Complete step by step solution:
Firstly we need to draw the angle of 127ousing a protractor i.e. let ∠CABis constructed 127owith A as the center point and C and B are the end point of the line segment.
Now we need to draw a bisector of ∠CAB in order to draw this we need to draw an arc taking A as the center which cuts the line segment AC and AB at X and Y respectively. Now taking X and Y as the center draw to arcs which intersect each other at point Z, now draw a line segment from point A to Z. Hence segment AZ represents the bisector of angle ∠CAB i.e. 127o.
So, the final answer is the figure drawn above.
Note: Always use the protector very consciously as it must be properly tight enough that it should not be deflected while using it so as not to produce any error.
