Let's fill in the blanks based on the construction steps you provided.
Given: segment A B and point C
Step 1: Draw a ray with endpoint C.
Step 2: Open the compass to the length of segment A B.
Step 3: With the same compass setting, put the compass point at point C.
Step 4: Draw an arc that intersects the ray.
Step 5: Label the point of intersection D.
So the completed response area would look like this:
