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

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

To copy the angle ∠BAC using the construction described, the correct response would be:
Using a compass, measure the distance from point Q 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.
This response accurately describes the process of copying the angle by ensuring the two arcs will correspond to the same radius as the original angle's rays.
