After doing this | Your work should look like this |
---|---|
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 compasses 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 compasses' width, move the compasses 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° | ![]() |
