Construction of Angles
What do you know about angles?
• How would you define an angle?
• Where do we use angles?
• Can you draw angles with the aid;
- Compass - Protractor
Challenges
• What are some of the challenges faced when drawing?
• How accurate are your drawings?
• From a scale of 1-4, where 4 is the highest….. How accurate are you
when drawing?
• What is ONE area that you would like to improve?
Introduction - Review
When two lines, called arms, meet,
they form an angle. The meeting point
is called the vertex. In Figure 2.3, BA
and BC are the arms. B is the vertex.
The angle formed can be called ABC or
CBA.
Classification
• Right angle
• Acute angle
• Obtuse angle
• Complementary angle
• Supplementary angle
Right Angle
A RIGHT ANGLE – one which is exactly 90°.
Acute Angle
An ACUTE ANGLE - one less than 90°
Obtuse Angle
An OBTUSE ANGLE One more than 90° but less than 180°
Complementary Angle
COMPLEMENTARY ANGLE
- the difference between the angle and 90°
- Thus 60° is the complement of 30° and 30°
is the complement of 60°.
Supplementary Angle
SUPPLEMENTARY ANGLE

- the difference between the angle and l80°


- Thus 55° is the supplement of 125°, and
125° the supplement of 55°.
Bisection and Division of Lines
To construct a perpendicular (90 at a point P on a given straight line)

1. Draw the given line AB and locate point P.


2. Using P as centre, and any convenient radius, draws the semicircle
CD.
3. Using C and D as centers and any convenient radius more than half
CD draw the two arcs which intersect at E.
4. Join E to P. EP is the required perpendicular.
To bisect a right angle
1. Construct the right angle in the previous example.
2. Mark point F on semicircle.
3. Using D and F as centers and any convenient radius more than half
CD draw the two arcs that intersect at G.
4. Join G to P. Use a protractor to measure the angle GPD, also
measure the angle GPE.
5. Both angles should be the same and 45°
To construct an angle of 60°
1. Draw a horizontal line BC. Using B as centre and any convenient
radius draw an arc to intersect BC at D.
2. Using D as centre and the same radius, draw another arc to
intersect the first one at E.
3. Join B to E and produce to A. Measure this angle using a protractor.
Classwork - Practice
• On a drawing paper construct a borderline and
title box.
• Construct the following plane figures using ONLY
a COMPASS by applying the concept of
constructing a 90-degree.
• Square of side lengths 40 mm
• Rectangle of base 70 mm and height of 50 mm.
