Question

what is the next step for the construction?
a. step 1: select a point on line l and label it point a. draw in pa.
b. step 2: put the point of the compass at a and make an arc. label the intersections b and c.
c. step 3: without changing the compass setting, put the compass at point p and make an identical arc. label the intersection d.
d. step 4: put the compass at point b and use it to measure the distance to c.

Explanation:

Given steps a - c, step d follows the logic of constructing congruent angles using a compass. After creating arcs from point A and P, measuring distance between arc - intersections on one arc is next.

Answer:

d. Step 4: Put the compass at point B and use it to measure the distance to C.
