To construct a copy of the angle ∠BAC using a compass and straightedge, follow these steps:

1. **Draw a Base Line**: Start by drawing a horizontal line (let's call it line PQ).

2. **Mark Point P**: Place point P on that line where you want the vertex of the new angle to be located.

3. **Copy Angle Using Compass**:
- Using your compass, measure the length of segment BC (from point B to point C) in angle ∠BAC.
- With the compass still set to that length, place the pointed end on point P and draw an arc across line PQ and above.

4. **Mark the Arc Intersection**: Mark the point where the arc intersects line PQ as point R.

5. **Find the Length for Point Q**: Now, keeping your compass at the same width, place the pointed end on point A (the original vertex of angle BAC) and draw an arc in the same way to capture the angle's opening.

6. **Intersect the Arcs**: Finally, using the same compass width (the distance between B and C), place the compass on point R (the intersection you marked above) and draw a second arc that intersects with the first arc drawn above point P (let's name that intersection point S).

7. **Complete the Angle**: Draw a straight line from point P through point S. This will create an angle ∠PQR that is congruent to∠BAC.

By following these steps, you will successfully construct a copy of the angle ∠BAC at the new location on point P.
