Question

Three lines diverge from vertex point upper Q. Points marked on the ends of the top and bottom lines are labeled upper P and upper R, respectively. A point marked on the right side of the middle line is labeled upper C.

Draw an angle using a straightedge with vertex point  Q
 . Place points  P
  and  R
  at the end of the angle forming segments  QP¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
  and  QR¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
 .
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.
Placing the pointed end of the compass on point  A
 , draw a smaller arc inside the angle that extends more than halfway across the inside of the angle.
Placing the pointed end of the compass on point  B
 , draw a smaller arc inside the angle that extends more than halfway across the inside of the angle.
Place point  C
  at the intersection of the two smaller arcs and draw a segment from the vertex point  Q
  to point  C

GPT-4o mini · Answer

The term that best describes segment $ QC $ is **angle bisector**. An angle bisector divides an angle into two equal parts, and in this geometric construction, segment $ QC $ represents the line that bisects the angle formed by segments $ QP $ and $ QR $.
