question 3 / 6
janice correctly began a construction by using a compass to draw the arc shown below. her next step will be to center the compass on point g and make an arc near f. which geometric figure could she be constructing using this first step?
a. a bisector of fg.
b. a segment congruent to fg.
c. a line parallel to fg.
d. none of the above

Explanation:

To construct a bisector of a line - segment FG, one of the initial steps is to draw arcs from both endpoints (F and G) of the segment. The given construction steps match the initial steps of constructing a bisector of a line - segment. To construct a segment congruent to FG, we would copy the length of FG to another location. To construct a line parallel to FG, we would use different geometric principles and steps related to angles.

Answer:

A. a bisector of FG.
