When constructing an angle bisector, where should the compass be placed after drawing the angle?

Question

At the vertex of the angle

At the intersection of the angle's sides

At the midpoint of the angle

At one endpoint of the angle

Answer 1

When constructing an angle bisector, the compass should be placed at the vertex of the angle after drawing the angle. This allows you to draw an arc that intersects both sides of the angle at two points. You can then use these intersection points to draw arcs with the compass set to the same width to find the bisector.
