Construct a segment of a circle on a chord of length 5cm. containing the following angles.

45°

Given an angle of 45° and chord 5cm


Steps of construction:


Step 1: Draw a line segment AB = 5cm



Step 2: Draw an angle of 45° on point A and B to intersect at O.



Step 3: With centre ‘O’ and radius OA and OB, draw the circle.



Step 4: Mark a point ‘C’ on the arc of the circle. Join AC and BC.


we get ∠ACB = 45°.



Thus, ACB is the required circle segment.
