Using ruler and a pair of compasses only, 

(a) construct : 

(i) (Delta)XYZ such that |XY| = 10cm, < XYZ = 30° and < YXZ = 45°.

(ii) locus, (l_{1}), of points equidistant from Y and Z.

(iii) locus, (l_{2}), of points parallel to XY through Z.

(b) Locate M, the point of intersection of (l_{1}) and (l_{2}).

(c) Measure < ZMY.

Explanation

(a), (b)  

(c) < ZMY = 120°.
