0%
$1$
0%
$2$
0%
$3$
0%
$4$

Explanation

Correct sequence is :

Step 1. Draw a ray $BC$ .

Step 2. With the pointed end of the compass at B and any arbitrary radius, draw an arc and mark the intersection point with ray $BC$ as $D.$

Step 3. With the same radius and the pointed end of the compass at $D$ , mark a point $E$ on the same arc.

Step 4 Join $B−E$ and extend it as a ray $BA.$

So the first step is $2$

Option $B$ is correct.

You are asked to "construct" an angle whose measure is

$30^\circ$ . Which of the following methods would be considered as an acceptable construction?

0%
Using a compass and straightedge, construct two parallel lines and label one of the angles $30^\circ$ .
0%
Using a compass and straightedge, construct an equilateral triangle and then bisect one of its angles.
0%
Using a compass and straightedge, copy an angle that appears to be close to $30^\circ$ from a diagram in your textbook.
0%
None of these

Explanation

We only need to construct an angle of

$30^{o}$ .

We have not been provided with any side or point.

So, its best to construct an equilateral triangle by drawing

$60^{\circ}$ angles and then extending and joining them with the straighedges

Since every angle is of measure

$60^{o}$ , so bisecting one of the angle will form an angle of measure

$30^{o}$ .

Hence, the acceptable construction is given by option B.

0%
$60^\circ$
0%
$32^\circ$
0%
$51.25^\circ$

Explanation

An angle of

$60^{\circ}$ can be constructed using a compass.

Step 1 : Make a compelete arc on a straight line.

Step 2 : Make an arc on the previous arc with the same opening of compass from the start point of previous arc.

Step 3: Draw a line through the centre of arc and point of intersection.

Each angle of equilateral triangle is

$60^\circ$ . The angles are bisected then each angle will be of:

0%
$60^o$
0%
$30^o$
0%

Angle bisector divide the angle in two equal parts.

$\therefore$ bisected angle

$=\dfrac{60^{\circ}}{2}=30^{\circ}$
