Sarah constructed angle BAC and an auxiliary segment when she placed point D at one end. Using a compass and straight edge, what would be the next step that Sarah needs to do to construct a copy of BAC? 1. to measure the distance between point B and C to draw an arc through the sides of BAC. To draw an arc on the auxiliary segment using point D. To measure the distance point A and B.

GPT-4o mini · Answer

To construct a copy of angle BAC using a compass and straight edge after placing point D, the next step Sarah should take is: To measure the distance between point A and B.

This involves placing the compass point on point A, adjusting it to reach point B, and then transferring that distance to point D by drawing an arc. This will help in constructing the angle by creating a new point that maintains the correct proportion of the original angle BAC.
