Question

An illustration shows angle Q A L. Ray A B P Q and ray A C L extend from vertex A. An arc intersects both rays, connecting B and C. Another arc intersects Q.

Using a compass, measure the distance from point Q
to point B
. Then, make another arc by placing the pointed end of the compass on point Q
and draw a small arc that intersects with the larger arc above point P
.
Using a compass, measure the distance from point upper Q to point upper B . Then, make another arc by placing the pointed end of the compass on point upper Q and draw a small arc that intersects with the larger arc above point upper P .

Using a straight edge, construct a horizontal line from point P
that intersects with the arc to find the middle of the angle.

Answer 1

To copy the angle ∠BAC using the described construction method, the correct response would be:

Using a compass, measure the distance from point Q to point B. Then, make another arc by placing the pointed end of the compass on point Q and draw a small arc that intersects with the larger arc above point P.

This method accurately describes the process of transferring the measure of one angle to another point using a compass.
