Explain how you can use a straightedge and a compass to construct an angle that is both congruent and adjacent to a given angle.

I think the answer is that you use the straightedge to draw two parallel lines and then you draw a line that goes through them that is perpendicular. You then use the compass to measure the angles, they should be congruent and adjacent. Any help would be appreciated.
use the edge to construct an arbitrary angle, with vertex at O.
Mark an arc through the sides of the angle. Let the arc intersect the rays at A and B. Continue the arc on past B for a distance.
Set the compass at B, and to the width of AB.
Still with the compass at B, mark an arc to intersect the first arc at C.
Now you have AB = BC.
Since the radius OA=OB=OC, angles AOB and BOC are congruent.

Use the compass and the stright edge to see what the other angle is then make a complementary and adjacent angle to it
WTH dude whats the dang answer bruh
this online school stuff is so depressing man
"Ugh" is my answer everytime someone asks "ready for school!?"
but at least I get to nap after school if I want
true...but I have barely any friends and im isolated from society...
Summary of comments no awnser to question. the comments themselves 10/10 would read again!
can someone just awnser the question. Im tired of looking
i only came here to get good grades so my family can be proud of me 😔
So... did any of you graduate yet?
first, you need to draw two intersecting lines, while you are using a straightedge. The lines can form an angle. the label of a vertex shows how an angle has the point O. so you will set the compass to a convenient radius and with the point O which is your center, you can draw a circle
This is half of an entire class
what am i reading...
I am so ready to go back to school I am tired of being at home I want to find me some friends so I can go out and do something because I am so sad
Me who has been doing online school for 8+ years looking back on how depressed i was (still am)
y’all don’t help at all
So like. Will I be failing Geometry this year or what?
these comments are concerning- i just need help....
yo I am trying my best in math but it is too hard
Uhhhhh ya know what, I'm just going with the original suggestion...
blue got the answer lol
ya'll im just trying to do my quiz reworks ;-; these comments are depressingly relatable, but i just need the answers lol
SO CAN YALL HELP OR????????? :(
damn so are we all going through it rn ????
bruh i just fr need the answer lol
i hate and am depressed bc of online school too but can y'all just give us the answer 😭
honestly ive been trying at this all day and im about to join two of the answers together cause i hate geometry and im going to cry 😭😂.
Wow, reading everyone's depressing messages makes me sad. Aren't most of us though. I do be homeschooled before and after covid -_-
jeez reading everyone's comments on here making me sad af. ngl feel the same as most of you guys but at least i don't gotta see people.
rip passing geometry this year gl everyone
rip passing geometry this year gl everyone
i’m so sad. I’ve been online for 3yrs now i just wanna go back to school now i hate this online stuff. it’s not for me.
This is my first year doing online school 😱
Im only doing online school cuz its more flexible with my sport schudel
same Queen, been here since 9th grade 🤦🏾♂️

Yikes! Teacher for one the schools you all are here to cheat at rather than genuinely learn. I'm truly sympathetic and heartache-y for the volume of low feelings expressed. I also want you to know that after years of teaching this course I recognize each of the listed answers above as having been floating around a long time and ripped from elsewhere on the internet. Even the people answering here are just plagarizing from someone else. It is more obvious than you think. If you are looking somewhere for answers - try your eTextbook. Page 44 of your textbook, linked in your lessons, gives the steps for constructing congruent angles, which you can read and look over a few times to get the general process. If you want to make it congruent AND adjacent, you'd just start the congruent angle construction on one ray of the existing angle rather than a new spot on the paper.
