MATHS - Geometry - Constructing Angles

This video tutorial demonstrates how to construct angles of 30, 45, 60, and 90 degrees using a compass and a ruler. It begins with a simple method for creating a 60-degree angle, followed by bisecting it to form a 30-degree angle. The tutorial then explains constructing a 90-degree angle using a perpendicular bisector and bisecting it to achieve a 45-degree angle. The video concludes with tips on using a compass effectively for angle construction.

What is the first step in constructing a 60-degree angle using a compass?

• Draw a perpendicular bisector

• Draw a straight line from the point

• Bisect a 90-degree angle

• Draw an arc from the endpoint

How can you create a 30-degree angle after constructing a 60-degree angle?

• By bisecting the 60-degree angle

• By drawing a perpendicular bisector

• By adding a 30-degree angle

• By extending the line

What is the easiest method mentioned for constructing a 90-degree angle?

• Drawing two intersecting arcs

• Bisecting a 180-degree angle

• Using a perpendicular bisector

• Adding a 30-degree angle to a 60-degree angle

To create a 45-degree angle, what must you do after constructing a 90-degree angle?

• Bisect the 90-degree angle

• Extend the line

• Draw a perpendicular bisector

• Add a 45-degree angle

What is the key technique emphasized for constructing various angles?

• Using a protractor
