Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

To construct an angle of 130 degrees;

The first thing to do is to bisect a given line segment.

Let's say we measure an even straight line A to B. Line A to B is assumed to be 10 cm. Then, we will choose any convenient radius and draw an arc at A and B.

Then, we proceed by draw arcs to cut each other at P and Q. Join |PQ| to cut |AB| at R. R is the midpoint of |AB|.

After, we bisect a given line segment where point R which is half of line AB.

Using the R to B side;

Then, we place our protractor at R; Starting from zero degrees with the horizontal line (parallel to side B) . we mark out angle 130° after we have counted all the way from 0° to 130°. At 130°, we mark out the point (X) on the paper and draw the extended line till it joins at R.

The angle from B to X is angle 130°
