Two rays diverge rightward from a vertex point labeled upper Q. One ray extends horizontally through a point labeled upper R, while the other extends diagonally through a point labeled upper P. Points upper R and upper P are connected by an arc.
On her paper, Katarzyna wants to construct the angle bisector of angle ∠PQR
. She has drawn an arc from the vertex point Q
that intersects both sides of the angle and has labeled the intersection of the arc with the sides of the angle with P
and R
. Using a compass and straightedge, what next step must she take to construct the angle bisector?
Option #1: Move the compass further apart and place the pointed end at point Q
and draw another arc that intersects the sides of the angle.
Option #2: Place the pointed end of the compass on point P
and draw another arc inside the first arc and between two sides of the angle.
Option #3: Place the pointed end of the compass on point P
and draw another arc outside the first arc and between two sides of the angle.
Option #4: Draw a line extending from the vertex point Q
through the middle of the angle.

Katarzyna's next step is Option #2: Place the pointed end of the compass on point P and draw another arc inside the first arc and between the two sides of the angle.
This step involves creating a new intersection point on the sides of the angle that will help in determining the angle bisector. After this, she would repeat the same process from point R to find the corresponding intersection and then connect these points to complete the angle bisector.
