Use the image to answer the question.

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 ?

(1 point)
Responses

a. Saadiq needs to measure the distance between point A and point B.

b. Saadiq needs to measure the distance between point B and point C.

c. Saadiq needs to draw an arc on the auxiliary segment using point D.

d. Saadiq needs to draw an arc through the sides of ∠BAC.

To construct a copy of ∠BAC with point D as the vertex of the new angle, Saadiq should draw an arc on the auxiliary segment using point D. This will help him create a point where the angle will be replicated, ensuring that the angle's measures are preserved.

Therefore, the correct response is:

c. Saadiq needs to draw an arc on the auxiliary segment using point D.
