Isha constructed%C2%A0∠XYZ %C2%A0and needs to double the angle by constructing a copy of the angle using ray%C2%A0YX %C2%A0as one of the sides of the new angle. He has constructed an arc, as appears in the image. What next step must he take to construct a copy of the angle using ray YX ? (1 point) Responses He must measure the distance between point%C2%A0Y and point%C2%A0Z using a compass. He must measure the distance between point%C2%A0 upper Y and point%C2%A0 upper Z using a compass. He must measure the distance between point X and point%C2%A0Z using a compass. He must measure the distance between point upper X and point%C2%A0 upper Z using a compass. He must measure the distance between point%C2%A0Y and the arc using a compass. He must measure the distance between point%C2%A0 upper Y and the arc using a compass. He must draw an arc that intersects the larger arc by placing the pointed end on point X .

To construct a copy of the angle \( \angle XYZ \) using ray \( YX \) as one of the sides of the new angle, after Isha has constructed the arc, the next step he must take is:

He must measure the distance between point \( Y \) and the arc using a compass.

This step will help him find the angle that is needed to duplicate the original angle \( \angle XYZ \). After measuring the distance, he can use this measurement to mark an intersection on the new ray that he will draw to create the required doubled angle.
