[85° and 110° angles are constructed by protector and ruler. NCERT syllabus is followed.]
[85° and 95° angles are constructed by protector and ruler. NCERT syllabus is followed.]
Note:- No process of drawing 80°, 95°, 100° or any other angle with compass and ruler, which is not in multiple of 15, is explained in NCERT syllabus. Therefore, we are not using any process of construction of these angles with compass. We draw angles which are multiple of 15 with compass and rulers. Any other angles are costructed with help of protactor.
