Note that 135 = 90 + 45.

So first construct a right angle, and then bisect the "back" half of it:

  1. Draw (horizontal) straight line XAB
  2. Construct the perpendicular bisector at A:
    1. With the point of your compasses on A draw arcs either side of it on line segments AX and AB.
    2. Open your compasses wider, with the point on where the arc in step 2.1 cuts (intersects) AB, draw an arc above the line XAB.
    3. With the compasses set the same, with the point on where the arc in step 2.1 cuts AX, draw an arc to cut the arc drawn in step 2.
    4. Mark the point where the arcs cut as Y.
    5. Draw in line AY.
  3. Bisect angle XAY:
    1. With the point of the compasses on A, draw arcs on lines AX and AY
    2. With the point of the compasses on where the arc drawn in step 3.1 cuts AX, draw an arc between AX and AY.
    3. With the compasses set the same, with the point on where the arc in step 3.1 cuts AY, draw an arc to cut the arc drawn in step 2.
    4. Mark the point where the arcs cut C.
    5. Draw in line AC
  4. Angle CAB is 135o

In drawing the arcs to cut, if they don't cut you may have to either increase the distance between the point and "pencil" of your compasses and/or redraw the arcs longer.

How can you construct 135 degree angle only with a scale and compasses?

Construct a perpendicular line that intersects a horizontal line at 90 degrees and then bisect the vertical line with the horizontal line will give an obtuse angle of 135 degrees because 90 degrees+45 degrees = 135 degrees


How do you draw a 135 degree angle using a protractor?

Draw a straight line and place zero degrees of the protractor at the endpoint of the line then mark out 135 degrees and join the endpoint with the marked out degrees to construct the required angle.

How do you construct an octagon with a given side?

a regular octagon has the same length all sides. so with the given angle draw 8 sides at an angle of 135 degrees from each other


What is a 135 angle?

An angle is a geometric concept and is not capable of doing anything.


What is the external angle if the internal angle is 135 degree?

180-135 = 45 degrees


What is the supplement of 135 degrees?

The supplement of an angle is the angle that, when added to the original angle, equals 180 degrees. Therefore, to find the supplement of 135 degrees, we subtract 135 from 180. The supplement of 135 degrees is 45 degrees.


Which angle is coterminal with an angle of 45 degrees?

What degrees is a octagon?

Each interior angle of an octagon has an angle of 135 degrees.


What is the interior and exterior angles of a regular 8 sided polygon?

Interior angle: 135 degrees Exterior angle: 45 degrees


What is the supplement of 45 degree?

The supplement of an angle is the angle that, when added to the original angle, equals 180 degrees. Therefore, the supplement of a 45-degree angle would be 135 degrees, because 45 + 135 = 180. This relationship holds true for all angles, where the sum of an angle and its supplement is always 180 degrees.
