Question 19 of 22intermediate🔧 ApplyDiagram3 marks

Draw the letter 'M' such that the angles on the sides are 40° each and the angle in the middle is 60°.

Correct Answer

Draw the letter M with specific angles: The two angles at the bottom corners (where the vertical lines meet the diagonal lines) should each be 40°. The angle at the top middle (where the two diagonal lines meet) should be 60°. Use a protractor to ensure accuracy. The M will have two acute angles of 40° at the bottom and one acute angle of 60° at the top.

Explanation

The letter M naturally has three angles - two at the bottom corners and one at the top middle. Students should draw the M shape using a protractor to create angles of exactly 40° at the bottom corners and 60° at the top. This requires careful measurement and drawing of lines at specific angles.

Solution Steps

  1. Step 1: Draw a vertical line for the left side of M.

  2. Step 2: From the bottom of this line, draw a diagonal line at 40°.

  3. Step 3: From where diagonals meet at top, create a 60° angle pointing down.

  4. Step 4: Draw the second diagonal meeting at 40° with the right vertical line.

  5. Step 5: Complete with the right vertical line.
