Isha constructed%C2%A0 ∠XYZ %C2%A0and needs to double the angle by constructing a copy of the angle using ray%C2%A0 YX %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 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 . He must draw an arc that intersects the larger arc by placing the pointed end on point upper X . He must measure the distance between point%C2%A0Y and point%C2%A0Z using a compass.

To construct a copy of the angle using ray YX, after Isha has already drawn the arc that intersects at points A and B (the intersections of the arc with the sides of the angle), the next step is:

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

This distance will help him to create the second angle (the double of the original angle) using ray YX as one of its sides.
