Question

of the ray opposite the endpoint. label this new intersection b (or a)
place the compass at the intersection of the arc drawn in the previous step and the ray with endpoint v (or w). draw another arc that intersects the ray on the side of the ray opposite the endpoint. label this new intersection w (or v).
what does the final construction look like? choose the correct answer below
oa
ob.
v
a
w
a
ob
oc
od.
a
b
a
b
v
w
v
w

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze construction steps

The steps describe constructing points on a ray using a compass. First, an intersection is labeled as B (or A) and then another intersection as W (or V) on a ray starting from V (or W).

Step2: Evaluate options

Option A shows a ray with points V, A, and W in order which matches the description of constructing points on a ray as per the given steps. Option B has incorrect labeling as it has B instead of W in the correct - order context. Option C and D have incorrect ray - direction and point - placement relationships.

Answer:

A.
