Constructing Angles

Describe the steps to construct a 60-degree angle with a compass.

• Use a compass to draw a straight line and estimate a 60-degree angle visually.

• Construct a 60-degree angle by randomly placing the compass on the paper.

• Use a compass to draw two intersecting arcs from the endpoints of a straight line, creating a 60-degree angle at their intersection.

• Draw a 60-degree angle by connecting three random points with a straight line.

How do you construct a 30-degree angle using a compass?

• Draw a 90-degree angle and bisect it to create a 30-degree angle

• Estimate the angle visually without using any tools

• Use a compass to draw two intersecting arcs from the endpoints of a line segment, creating a 30-degree angle at their intersection.

• Use a protractor to measure a 30-degree angle directly

Explain the method to construct a 120-degree angle with a compass.

• Use a compass to draw two intersecting arcs and connect the intersection points to form a 120-degree angle.

• Create a 120-degree angle by connecting three random points

• Use a protractor to measure the angle directly

• Draw a 90-degree angle and estimate the additional 30 degrees

If you have two intersecting lines, how can you construct an angle bisector using a compass?

• Use arcs and intersecting points to draw the angle bisector.

• Create a perpendicular line to one of the intersecting lines.

• Draw a circle around the intersection point.

• Use only the straightedge of the compass to draw the angle bisector.

Describe the steps to construct a 75-degree angle with a compass.

• Construct a ray, draw two intersecting arcs, and the angle between the rays where they intersect is the 75-degree angle.

• Construct a 90-degree angle and then bisect it to get a 75-degree angle

• Draw a straight line and estimate the angle to be 75 degrees

• Use a protractor to measure a 75-degree angle directly

• Use a protractor to measure and draw a 150-degree angle directly.

• Construct a 150-degree angle by bisecting a 45-degree angle, which is obtained by bisecting a 90-degree angle.

• Construct a 150-degree angle by bisecting a 30-degree angle, which is obtained by bisecting a 60-degree angle.
