Question

what is the construction that needs to be done to make a copy of ∠bac? (1 point) using a compass, measure the distance from point q to point b. then, make another arc by placing the pointed end of the compass on point q and draw a small arc that intersects with the larger arc above point p. using a straight - edge, construct a horizontal line from point p that intersects with the arc to find the middle of the angle. using a compass, measure the length from point a to point c. then, make another arc by placing the pointed end of the compass on point q and draw a small arc that intersects with the larger arc above point p. using a compass, measure the length from point b to point c. then, make another arc by placing the pointed end of the compass on point q and draw a small arc that intersects with the larger arc above point p.

Explanation:

Step1: Recall angle - copying construction

To copy an angle, we first construct an arc from the vertex of the given angle ($A$) that intersects the two rays of the angle at two points (here $B$ and $C$). Then, at the vertex of the new angle (assume $Q$), we make a similar - sized arc. The key step is to measure the distance between the intersection points of the arc and the rays of the original angle. In this case, we measure the length from point $B$ to point $C$ with a compass. Then, with the compass set to this length, we place the pointed end at the corresponding point ($Q$) of the new - angle construction and draw a small arc that intersects the larger arc above point $P$.

Answer:

Using a compass, measure the length from point $B$ to point $C$. Then, make another arc by placing the pointed end of the compass on point $Q$ and draw a small arc that intersects with the larger arc above point $P$.
