By bisecting an angle of 30 degrees using a compass and a straight edge
You use a protractor
To construct a 54-degree angle with a compass, start by drawing a straight line using a ruler. Place the compass on one endpoint of the line and draw an arc that intersects the line. Without changing the compass width, place the compass on the intersection point and draw another arc. Where the two arcs intersect is a point that, when connected to the endpoint of the line, forms a 54-degree angle.
It is easy to draw an equilateral triangle without a protractor. That gives a 60 degree angle. It is then simply a matter of bisecting the 60 degree angle, using an unmarked rule and compass, to get a 30 degree angle.
