3. With B as the centre and the same radius cut the previously drawn arc at C.

5. With C as the centre and the radius more than half CD draw an arc.


6. With D as the centre and the same radius draw another arc which cuts the previous arc at E.


7. Join E. So AOE=90°

8. Now with B as centre and radius more than half of CB draw an arc.


9. With C as the centre and same radius draw an arc which cuts the previous at F.


10. Join OF. Therefore, it is the bisector of the right AOE.
