An illustration shows angle Q A L. Ray A B P Q and ray A C L extend from vertex A. An arc intersects both rays, connecting B and C. Another arc intersects Q.

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

To make a copy of ∠BAC, the correct construction method is:
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 accurately describes the process of using the compass to replicate the angle by transferring the segment lengths to the new angle location.
