(v) Next, taking C and D as centres and with the radius more than 1/2 CD draw arcs to intersect each other, say at G.

(vi) Draw the ray OG. This ray OG is the bisector of the angle ∠FOE, i.e.

Thus,∠GOA=∠GOE+∠EOA = 30⁰ + 60⁰= 90⁰

Justification:

(i) Join BC. 

Then, OC = OB = BC (By construction) 

 ∴ ∆COB is an equilateral triangle. 

∴ ∠COB = 60⁰∠EOA = 60⁰

(ii) Join CD 

Then, OD = OC = CD [By construction] 

∴ ∆DOC is an equilateral triangle. 

∴ ∠DOC = 60⁰ ∴ ∠FOE = 60⁰

(iii) Join CG and DG 

In ∆ ODG and ∠OCG 

OD = OC | Radii of the same arc 

DG = CG | Arcs of equal radii

OG = OG | Common

∴ ∆ODG ≅ ∆ OCG | SSS Rule

∴ ∠DOG ≅ ∠COG | CPCT

Thus,∠GOA = ∠GOE + ∠EOA = 30⁰ +  60⁰ =  90⁰

∴ ∠COB = 60⁰ ∴ ∠EOA = 60⁰

(ii) Join CD 

Then, OD = OC = CD (By construction)

∴ ∆ DOC is an equilateral triangle. 

∴ ∠DCO = 60⁰ ∴ ∠FOE = 60⁰

(iii) Join CG and DG 

In ∆ DOG and ∆ OCG, 

OD = OC | Radii of the same arc

DG = CG | Arcs of equal radii

OG = OG  | Common

∴ ∆ DOG = ∠COG | CPCT

Thus,∠GOA=∠GOE+∠EOA = 30⁰+ 60⁰= 90⁰

(iv) Join HJ and Ij

In ∆OIJ and ∆OHJ,

OI = OH   | Radii of the same arc

IJ = HJ  | Arcs of equal radii
