Question 1.Draw {tex}\angle {/tex}POQ of measure {tex}75^\circ {/tex} and find its line of symmetry.

Answer: Steps of construction:

(a) Draw a line {tex}l{/tex} and mark a point O on it.

(b) Place the pointer of the compasses at O and draw an arc of any radius which intersects the line {tex}l{/tex} at A.

(c) Taking same radius, with centre A, cut the previous arc at B.

(e) Taking same radius, with centre B, cut the previous arc at C.
