The representation of angle is \u2220. Construction of angles by using compass means you need to make an angle between two straight lines just with the compass. Take one straight line and draw an arc on the line with the compass with any radius from two ends of the line. Get the simple steps in the below-mentioned sections of this page.<\/p>\n<h3>Steps to Construct Angle of 60\u00b0 with Compass<\/h3>\n<p>Check out the detailed steps to construct an angle of 60 degrees by using a compass.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Draw a ray AB.<\/li>\n<li>By taking either A or B as a center and any suitable radius draw an arc above the ray and cutting at a point P.<\/li>\n<li>Now, with P as the center and having the same radius, draw another arc that meets the previous arc at C.<\/li>\n<li>Join AC or BC and produce it to D.<\/li>\n<li>Then \u2220ADB = 60\u00b0.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>More Related Articles<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/ccssanswers.com\/related-angles\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Related
