Construction Procedure:
To construct an angle 90°, follow the given steps:
1. Draw a ray OA
2. Take O as a centre with any radius, draw an arc DCB is that cuts OA at B.
3. With B as a centre with the same radius, mark a point C on the arc DCB.
4. With C as a centre and the same radius, mark a point D on the arc DCB.
5. Take C and D as centre, draw two arcs which intersect each other with the same radius at P.
6. Finally, the ray OP is joined which makes an angle 90° with OP is formed.
Justification
To prove ∠POA = 90°
In order to prove this, draw a dotted line from the point O to C and O to D and the angles formed are:
From the construction, it is observed that
OB = BC = OC
Therefore, OBC is an equilateral triangle
So that, ∠BOC = 60°.
Similarly,
OD = DC = OC
Therefore, DOC is an equilateral triangle
So that, ∠DOC = 60°.
From SSS triangle congruence rule
△OBC ≅ OCD
So, ∠BOC = ∠DOC [By C.P.C.T]
Therefore, ∠COP = ½ ∠DOC = ½ (60°).
∠COP = 30°
To find the ∠POA = 90°:
∠POA = ∠BOC+∠COP
∠POA = 60°+30°
∠POA = 90°
Hence, justified.
