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¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ ?

Answer 1

The term that best describes segment \( QC \) is angle bisector. This is because segment \( QC \) divides the angle formed by segments \( QP \) and \( QR \) into two equal parts, which is the definition of an angle bisector.
