The resulting angle formed between the baseline and the line through point C will be exactly 60 degrees due to the equilateral triangle properties of the arcs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/learnexams.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/learnexams-banner5-228.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-242281\"\/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Draw an angle of 60 degrees using a compass.
