Saadiq constructed ∠BAC and an auxiliary segment wher he placed point D at on end. With the help of a compass and straightedge, what next should Saadiq do to construct a copy of ∠BAC

A. Saadiq needs to draw an arc on the auxiliary segment using point D
B. Saadiq needs to draw an arc through the sides of ∠BAC
C. Saadiq need to measure the distance between point B and point C
D. Saadiq needs to measure the distance between point A and point B

To construct a copy of ∠BAC using point D and the auxiliary segment, the correct next step for Saadiq is:

B. Saadiq needs to draw an arc through the sides of ∠BAC.

This involves placing the compass point at point A and drawing an arc that intersects both sides of the angle (i.e., lines AB and AC). This will allow Saadiq to transfer the angle's measurements to the new angle created at point D.
