Which angle CANNOT be constructed directly using only a compass and straightedge in one standard step?

Class 9Constructions of TrianglesGeometry
  • A50°
  • B60°
  • C90°
  • D120°

Step-by-Step Solution

60, 90 and 120° are directly constructible; 50° is not constructible with compass and straightedge because it is not obtainable from 60° by bisections and standard combinations.
Answer: A) 50°
