| 1. Draw a line segment which will become one side of the angle.
(Skip this step if you are given this line.) The exact length is not important. Label it PQ. P will be the angle's vertex. |
 |
| 2. Set the compass on P, and set its width to any convenient setting. |
 |
| 3. Draw an arc across PQ and up over above the point P. |
 |
| 4. Without changing the compass width, move the compass to the point where the arc crosses PQ, and make an arc that crosses the first one. |
 |
| 5. Draw a line from P, through the intersection of the two arcs. |
 |
| 6. Done. The angle QPR has a measure of 60° |
