When bisecting segments and angles, which step is the same?

Question

Draw a ray with one endpoint.
Mark the intersection points of the arcs.
Draw a ray from the vertex to another point.
Place the compass on the endpoint of the segment.

Answer 1

When bisecting segments and angles, the step that is the same in both processes is "Place the compass on the endpoint of the segment."

In both bisecting a segment and bisecting an angle, you begin by placing the compass on a specific point (either an endpoint of the segment or the vertex of the angle) to draw arcs. This foundational step is crucial in both constructions.
