Angle upper A upper B upper C and a point, upper D, which has a line extending horizontally from it. Segments upper A upper B and upper A upper C extend from vertex upper A to form the angle.
Saadiq constructed ∠BAC and an auxiliary segment where he placed point D at one end. With the help of a compass and straightedge, what next step should Saadiq do to construct a copy of ∠BAC ?

To construct a copy of ∠BAC using the method of compass and straightedge, Saadiq's next step should be:
Saadiq needs to draw an arc on the auxiliary segment using point D.
This step involves placing the compass point at D and drawing an arc that intersects the segments forming the angle ∠BAC, providing points to create the angle's measurement.
