1.

Construct an angle of 90 degree at the initial point of a given ray and justify the construction.​

Answer»

STEP-by-step explanation:

The steps of construction to follow:

Step 1: Draw a ray OP.

Then, TAKE O as the centre and any radius draw an arc cutting OP at Q.

Step 2: Now, taking Q as the centre and with the same radius as before draw an arc cutting the previous arc at R. Repeat the process with R to cut the previous arc at S.

construction

Step 3: Take R and S as centre draw the arc of radius more than the half of RS and draw two arcs intersecting at A. Then, join OA.

construction

Hence,

.

Justification:

We need to justify,

So, join OR and OS and RQ. we obtain

construction 4

By construction OQ = OS = QR.

So,

is an equilateral triangle. Similarly

is an equilateral triangle.

So,

Now,

that means

.

Then, join AS and AR:

constructino 5

Now, in triangles OSA and ORA:

(common)

(Radii of same arcs)

(radii of the same arcs)

So,

Therefore,

and

Hence, justified.
