Using a straight edge, construct a horizontal line from point P
that intersects with the arc to find the middle of the angle.

Answer 1

To make a copy of ∠BAC using a compass and straightedge, the correct construction steps would typically involve the following:

1. **Construct an angle on a new point**: Place point Q (the vertex of the new angle).

2. **Using a compass**, measure the distance from point A to point B (this represents the length of side AB).

3. **With the compass still set to that length**, place the compass point on Q and draw an arc that crosses the ray going in the direction of the new angle.

4. **Using a compass again**, measure the distance from point B to C (the length of side AC).

5. **Keeping the compass at the same width**, place the pointed end on the intersection of the arc made from point Q and draw another arc to intersect with the previous arc.

6. **Mark the intersections** and create lines from point Q to the intersections to form ∠QPR, which will be a copy of ∠BAC.

The correct response based on the steps outlined would be something like:

"Using a compass, measure the distance from point A to point B. Then, make another arc by placing the pointed end of the compass on point Q and draw a small arc that intersects with the larger arc above point P."

Make sure to follow the construction sequence accurately to create a precise angle copy.
