Steps to Construct an Angle
An angle can be easily constructed using the proctor or compass. To construct an angle using the protractor we follow the steps added below,
Step 1: Draw a ray OA of any length that is parallel to horizontal edge of page.
Step 2: Place the protractor on the ray OA such that O is at the centre of the protractor. And OA is at the right side of the protractor.
Step 3: Mark the point from the right side of the protractor at the angle which we want to construct suppose we have to construct an angle of 60°(mark the point as P)
Step 4: Join OP ∠AOP is the required angle.
Angles Definition, Types and Examples
An angle is a figure which is formed by two rays or lines that share a common endpoint is called an angle. The word “angle” is derived from the Latin word “angulus”, which means “corner”. The two lines joined together are called the arms of the angle and the measure of the opening between them is the value of the angle between these two lines.
In this article, we will learn about the definition and parts of angles in Geometry, their representation, examples, and types like acute angle, right angle, obtuse angle, etc. along with FAQs.
