Question 1.
Draw ∠POQ of measure 75° and find its line of symmetry.
Solution:
Steps of construction:
Step I: Construct BOA = 90°, where ∠AOQ = 60° and ∠BOQ = 30°.
Step II: Draw \(\overrightarrow{\mathrm{OP}}\), the angle bisector of ∠BOQ, such that ∠QOP = \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) ∠BOQ.
∠QOP = \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) (30°) = 15°

Step III: Since, 60° + 15° = 75°
So, ∠AOQ + ∠QOP = ∠POA Thus, ∠POA = 75°.

Question 2.
Draw an angle of measure 147° and construct its bisector.
Solution:
Steps of construction:
Step I: Draw a ray \(\overrightarrow{\mathrm{AB}}\).
Step II: Using a protractor construct ∠BAC = 147°.
Step III: With centre ‘A’ and a convenient radius, draw an arc which intersects the arms \(\overrightarrow{\mathrm{AB}}\) and \(\overrightarrow{\mathrm{AC}}\) at P and Q respectively.

Step IV: With centre P and radius more than half of PQ, draw an arc.
Step V: With centre Q and keeping the same radius, draw another arc that intersects the previous arc at R.
Step VI: Join A and R. Produce AR.
Thus, \(\overrightarrow{\mathrm{AR}}\) is the required angle bisector of ∠BAC.

Question 3.
Draw a right angle and construct its bisector.
Solution:
Steps of construction:
Step I: Draw a line l and mark a point ‘O’ on it.
Step II: With centre ‘O’ and a convenient radius, draw an arc which intersects l at A and B.
Step III: With centres at A and B and radius more than half of AB, draw two arcs which intersect each other at C.

Step IV: Join OC, such that ∠AOC is a right angle.
Step V: A and D as centres and radius more than half of AD, draw two arcs which cut each other at E.
Step VI: Join OE and produce it.
Thus, \(\overrightarrow{\mathrm{OE}}\) is the required angle bisector of right angle ∠AOC, i.e. \(\overrightarrow{\mathrm{OE}}\) is the bisector of the right angle.

Question 4.
Draw an angle of measure 153° and divide it into four equal parts.
Solution:

Step II: Using a protractor, construct ∠BAC = 153°.
Step III: Draw \(\overrightarrow{\mathrm{AD}}\), bisector of ∠BAC.
Step IV: Again, draw \(\overrightarrow{\mathrm{AE}}\), bisector of ∠DAC.
Step V: Also, draw \(\overrightarrow{\mathrm{AF}}\), bisector of ∠BAD.
Thus, \(\overrightarrow{\mathrm{AE}}\), \(\overrightarrow{\mathrm{AD}}\) and \(\overrightarrow{\mathrm{AF}}\), divide the given ∠BAC into four equal parts.

(e) 45°
Solution:
∵ \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) (90°) = 45°
∴ In the figure, ∠POR = 45°
GSEB Solutions Class 6 Maths Chapter 14 Practical Geometry Ex 14.6 img 9

(f) 135°
Solution:
Since, 90° + 45° = 135°
i.e. 90° + \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\)(90°) = 135°
.’. In the figure, ∠AOD = 135°.

Step IV: With the same radius and centre at D, draw another arc which intersects the arc at B.
Step V: Join OB and produce it.
Thus, \(\overrightarrow{\mathrm{OB}}\), bisects ∠AOQ into two equal parts.
i.e. ∠AOB = \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\)(45°) =22\(\frac{1^{\circ}}{2}\)
