With the help of a ruler and compass, it is not possible to construct an angle of
A) 37.5°
B) 40°
C) 22.5°
D)67.5°
With the help of a ruler and compass, it is not possible to construct an angle of
A) 37.5°
B) 40°
C) 22.5°
D)67.5°
Solution:
Option B) 40° is the CORRECT answer
37.5° can be 22.5° + 15°
22.5° is half of 45°
67.5° can be 45° + 22.5°
