8. Follow the steps below. Use a protractor to construct ∠ABC = 140°.

Step 1: Draw a line segment AB.

(This step has been done for you.)

Step 2: Place the base line of the

protractor along AB and the
centre on B.

Step 3: Mark point C at 140° by using B A

the inner scale.

Step 4: Join BC. Then ∠ABC = 140°.

9. Use a protractor to construct the following 10. Use a protractor to construct the following
angles. angles.
(a) 40° (a) reflex ∠ABC = 310°!
! ! 310° = 360° – 50°
! ! Construct an angle of 50°
(i.e. acute ∠ABC) first.
! ! Then reflex ∠ABC is 310°.
