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.

What is the construction that needs to be done to make a copy of ∠BAC ?

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 given construction steps, you need to follow the steps that involve measuring the distance from point Q to point B.

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 step accurately describes how to copy the angle using the method of constructing congruent angles through arcs and maintaining the same angle measurement from the original angle ∠BAC.
