(1) Draw a line l and mark a point P on it. Now taking P as centre and with convenient radius, draw an arc of a circle which intersects line l at Q.

(2) Taking Q as centre and with the same radius as before, draw an arc intersecting the previously drawn arc at point R.

(3) Now, taking Q and R as centre and with radius more than RQ, draw arcs to intersect each other at S. Join PS which is the required ray making 30° with line l.

(c) 90º

The below given steps will be followed to construct an angle of 90°.

(1) Draw a line l and mark a point P on it. Now taking P as centre and with a convenient radius, draw an arc of a circle which intersects line l at Q.

(2) Taking Q as centre and with the same radius as before, draw an arc intersecting the previously drawn arc at R.

(d) 120º

The below given steps will be followed to construct an angle of 120°.

(1) Draw a line l and mark a point P on it. Now taking P as centre and with a convenient radius, draw an arc of a circle which intersects line l at Q.

(2) Taking Q as centre and with the same radius as before, draw an arc intersecting the previously drawn arc at R.

(4) Join PS, which is the required ray making 120° with line l.

(e)45º

The below given steps will be followed to construct an angle of 45°.

(1) Draw a line l and mark a point P on it. Now taking P as centre and with a convenient radius, draw an arc of a circle which intersects line l at Q.

(2) Taking Q as centre and with the same radius as before, draw an arc intersecting the previously drawn arc at R.

(f) 135°

The below given steps will be followed to construct an angle of 135°.

(1) Draw a line l and mark a point P on it. Now taking P as centre and with a convenient radius, draw a semi-circle which intersects line l at Q and R.

(2) Taking R as centre and with the same radius as before, draw an arc intersecting the previously drawn arc at S.

(3) Taking S as centre and with the same radius as before, draw an arc intersecting the arc at T (see figure).

(4) Taking S and T as centre, draw arcs of same radius to intersect each other at U.

(5) Join PU. Let it intersect the arc at V. Now taking Q and V as centres and with radius more than QV, draw arcs to intersect each other at W.

(6) Join PW which is the required ray making 135° with line l.
