It is possible to construct an angle equal to 7.5∘ using compass and ruler.
Steps to draw are:
·Draw an angle of 60∘ using compass and ruler.
·Bisect it to get 30∘.
·Bisect it to get 15∘.
·Bisect it to get 7.5∘.
So we can construct an angle of 7.5∘.

The four tools used for drawing shapes are:
i) Rulers
ii) Compasses
iii) Set squares
iv) Protractor

Constructing PQ: 1 Mark
Steps: 2 Mark
Steps for constructing PQ based on the length of AB:
(i) Let AB be the line segment.
(ii) Adjust the compass up to the length of AB.
(iii) Draw any line l and mark a point P on it.
(iv) Put the pointer on P and without changing the setting of the compass, draw an arc to cut the line segment at point X.
(v) Now, put the pointer on X and again draw an arc with the same radius as before, to cut the line l at the point Q.
PQ is the required line segment.

Each steps: 1 Mark
Step 1: Draw a line l. Mark a point A on the line.
Step 2: Place the compass pointer on the zero mark of the ruler. Open it to place the pencil point up to the 5.6 cm mark.
Step 3: Taking caution that the opening of the compass has not changed the measured length, place the pointer on A and swing an arc to cut l at B.
Step 4: AB is a line segment of the required length.
