Sarah followed the following instructions: 1. Draw an angle using a straight edge with vertex point Q . Place points P and R at the end of the angle forming segments QP¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ and QR¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ . 2. Using a compass, draw an arc that intersects both sides of the angle. Place two points, A and B , at the intersection of the arc with both sides of the angle. 3. Place the pointed end of the compass on point A . Then, draw a smaller arc inside the angle that extends more than halfway across the inside of the angle. 4. Place the pointed end of the compass on point B . Then, draw a smaller arc inside the angle that extends more than halfway across the inside of the angle. 5. Place point C at the intersection of the two smaller arcs and draw a segment from the vertex point Q to point C . What term best describes segment QC¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ ? (1 point) Responses segment bisector segment bisector an arc an arc midpoint midpoint angle bisector angle bisector Skip to navigation

Answer 1

The term that best describes segment \( QC \) is angle bisector. Sarah's construction involves dividing the angle at vertex \( Q \) into two equal angles, which is the definition of an angle bisector.
