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.

Question

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

Using a compass, measure the length from point A 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.

Answer 1

To copy the angle \( \angle BAC \) to angle \( \angle Q \), the correct construction involves measuring the distance between points \( B \) and \( C \) (the points on the angle \( \angle BAC \)). You would then use this measurement to create an arc from point \( Q \) that replicates the angle.

Therefore, the correct response is:

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.
