### Construction

Q.1: Construct an angle of 900 at the initial point of a given ray and justify the construction.
Ans : The below given steps will be followed to construct an angle of 900.
(i) Take the given ray PQ. Draw an arc of some radius taking point P as its centre, which intersects PQ at R.
(ii) Taking R as centre and with the same radius as before, draw an arc intersecting the previously drawn att at S.
(iii) Taking S as centre and with the same radius as before, draw an arc intersecting the arc at T (see figure).
(iv) Taking S and T as centre, draw an arc of same radius to intersect each other at U.
(v) Join PLJ, which is the required ray making 900 with the given ray PQ.

Justification of Construction:
We can justify the construction, if we can prove $$\angle \mathrm{UPQ}=90^{\circ}$$
For this, join PS and PT.

$$\begin{array}{l}{\text { We have, } \angle \mathrm{SPQ}=\angle \mathrm{TPS}=60^{\circ} . \text { In (iii) and (iv) steps of this construction, PU was }} \\ {\text { drawn as the bisector of } \angle \mathrm{TPS} \text { . }}\end{array}$$
$$\begin{array}{l}{\therefore \angle \mathrm{UPS}=\frac{1}{2} \angle \operatorname{TPS}=\frac{1}{2} \times 60^{\circ}=30^{\circ}} \\ {\text { Also, } \angle \mathrm{UPQ}=\angle \mathrm{SPQ}+\angle \mathrm{UPS}} \\ {=60^{\circ}+30^{\circ}} \\ {=90^{\circ}}\end{array}$$ 
Q.2: Construct an angle of 450 at the initial point of a given ray and justify the construction.
Ans : The below given steps will be followed to construct an angle of 450.
(i) Take the given ray PQ. Draw an arc of some radius taking point P as its centre, which intersects PQ at R.
(ii) Taking R as centre and with the same radius as before, draw an arc intersecting the previously drawn arc at S.
(iii) Taking S as centre and With the same radius as before, draw an arc intersecting the arc at T (see figure).

(vi) From R and V, draw arcs with radius more than 1/2 RV to intersect each other at W. Join PW.
PW is the required ray making 450 with PQ.

Justification of Construction:
We can justify the construction, if we can prove $$\angle \mathrm{WPQ}=45^{\circ}$$
For this, join PS and PT.

$$\begin{array}{l}{\text { We have, } \angle \mathrm{SPQ}=\angle \mathrm{TPS}=60^{\circ} . \text { In (iii) and (iv) steps of this construction, PU was }} \\ {\text { drawn as the bisector of } \angle \mathrm{TPS} \text { . }}\end{array}$$
$$\begin{array}{l}{\therefore \angle U P S=\frac{1}{2} \angle \operatorname{TPS}=\frac{60^{\circ}}{2}=30^{\circ}} \\ {\text { Also, } \angle U P Q=\angle S P Q+\angle U P S} \\ {=60^{\circ}+30^{\circ}} \\ {=90^{\circ}}\end{array}$$
In step (vi) of this construction, PW was constructed as the bisector of $$\angle$$UPQ.
