To draw angles ABC = 120° and DBC = 45° with a common side BC, we can follow these steps:
- Draw a line segment BC as the common side.
- Place the center of your compass at point B and draw an arc that intersects line BC.
- Without changing the compass width, move the center of your compass to point C and draw another arc that intersects the previous arc.
- Label the intersection of the two arcs as point A.
- Now, place the center of your compass at point B and draw an arc that intersects line BC.
- Without changing the compass width, move the center of your compass to point C and draw another arc that intersects the previous arc.
- Label the intersection of the two arcs as point D.
- Connect points A and D to point B.
- Lastly, label the angle ABD.
To find the angle ABD, we need to consider the angles formed.
We know that angle DBC = 45°.
Since angles ABC and DBC are linear (they lie on a straight line), the sum of these two angles is 180°.
Therefore, angle ABC = 180° - angle DBC = 180° - 45° = 135°.
To find angle ABD, we can subtract angle DBC from angle ABC:
Angle ABD = angle ABC - angle DBC = 135° - 45° = 90°.
Therefore, angle ABD is equal to 90°.
