Second Step Question

In angle construction (copying an angle, likely), the first step is usually drawing an arc on the original angle. The second step for a new angle (with vertex D maybe) would be to open the compass to the length of the arc on the original angle (CD here). Wait, no, let's re - think. Wait, the first step (implied) might be drawing an arc on ∠C with center C, labeling A and B. Then the second step for the new angle (with vertex D) would be to open the compass to length CD? No, wait the options: Option B says "Open the compass to length CD". Wait, no, maybe the construction is copying ∠C to a new vertex D. The first step (not shown) maybe drawing a ray with vertex D. Then step 1: with compass on C, draw arc intersecting sides of ∠C (label A, B) – but that's option D? Wait no, the question is the second step. Wait, maybe the first step is drawing a ray with vertex D. Then step 1: with compass on C, draw arc intersecting sides of ∠C (A, B). Step 2: open compass to length AB? No, the options: Option B is "Open the compass to length CD". Wait, maybe I got it wrong. Wait, the correct second step for copying an angle: after drawing the arc on the original angle (∠C, center C, intersecting sides at A, B), the next step is to open the compass to length AB? No, the options here: Let's look at the options again. Option B: "Open the compass to length CD" – no. Option D: "With the compass point on C, draw an arc that intersects the sides of ∠C. Label these points of intersection A and B." Wait, maybe that's the first step. Then the second step would be to open the compass to length AB? No, the options don't have that. Wait, maybe the construction is different. Wait, the correct answer for the second step: Let's assume the first step is drawing a ray with vertex D. Then step 1: with compass on C, draw arc intersecting sides of ∠C (A, B) (option D is step 1). Then step 2: open compass to length AB? No, the options: Option B is "Open the compass to length CD" – no. Wait, maybe the answer is B? No, I think I made a mistake. Wait, the correct answer for the second step (assuming the construction is copying ∠C to ∠D):

1. Draw a ray with vertex D.
2. With compass on C, draw arc intersecting sides of ∠C at A, B (option D – but that would be step 1). Wait, no, maybe the first step is with compass on D, draw an arc? No, the options: The question is "What is the second step in the construction?". Let's analyze the options:

• Option A: With compass on D, draw arc intersecting sides of ∠C – no, ∠C's sides are at C, D is a different vertex.
• Option B: Open compass to length CD – maybe, if CD is the length from C to the arc on ∠C.
• Option C: With compass on C, draw arc intersecting previous construction – no, previous construction would be at D, so C is far.
• Option D: With compass on C, draw arc intersecting sides of ∠C (label A, B) – this is the first step (drawing arc on original angle). So the second step would be to open the compass to length AB (but not an option) or open to length CD? Wait, maybe the answer is B? No, I think the correct answer is B? Wait, no, let's check again. Wait, maybe the construction is:

Step 1: Draw a ray with endpoint D.

Step 2: With compass point on C, draw an arc that intersects the sides of ∠C. Label these points A and B (option D) – no, that's step 1. Then step 2: Open the compass to length AB (not an option). Wait, the options given: Maybe the answer is B. Wait, no, I think I messed up. Let's look at the marked option in the image (the checkmark is on D for the second step? Wait, the image shows a checkmark on D for the…

After drawing the arc on ∠C (label A, B) and then (maybe) drawing an arc with center D (first step for the new angle), the third step would be to use the same compass setting (length AB) and put the compass point on D, draw an arc intersecting the first arc (on D's ray) at R. Let's analyze the options:

• Option A: Open compass to length AB, put on C – no, C is the original angle's vertex.
• Option B: Open compass to length AB, put on D – but we should use the same compass setting as when we drew the arc on ∠C (length AB), but "with the same compass setting" is better.
• Option C: With the same compass setting, put compass point on D, draw arc intersecting first construction at R – this matches.
• Option D: With same setting, put on C – no, C is not the new vertex.

So the answer is C: "With the same compass setting, put the compass point on D. Draw an arc and label its point of intersection with the construction in the first step as R."

Fourth Step Question

After drawing the arc at D (intersecting at R), the next step is to use the same compass setting (length AB) and put the compass point on R, draw an arc intersecting the previous arc (from step 3) at T. Let's analyze the options:

• Option A: Open compass to length AB, put on A – A is on ∠C, not on the new angle.
• Option B: With same compass setting as previous step (length AB), put compass point on R, draw arc intersecting previous arc at T – this matches.
• Option C: Open compass to length AB, put on R – but we should use the same setting, not re - open to AB (we already have the setting from step 2 or 3).
• Option D: With same setting, put on A – A is on ∠C.

So the answer is B: "With the same compass setting as the previous step, put the compass point on R and draw another arc that intersects the arc constructed in the previous step. Label the intersection T."

Second Step Answer:

D. With the compass point on C, draw an arc that intersects the sides of ∠C. Label these points of intersection A and B.

Third Step Answer:

C. With the same compass setting, put the compass point on D. Draw an arc and label its point of intersection with the construction in the first step as R.

Fourth Step Answer:

B. With the same compass setting as the previous step, put the compass point on R and draw another arc that intersects the arc constructed in the previous step. Label the intersection T.

Answer:

After drawing the arc at D (intersecting at R), the next step is to use the same compass setting (length AB) and put the compass point on R, draw an arc intersecting the previous arc (from step 3) at T. Let's analyze the options:

• Option A: Open compass to length AB, put on A – A is on ∠C, not on the new angle.
• Option B: With same compass setting as previous step (length AB), put compass point on R, draw arc intersecting previous arc at T – this matches.
• Option C: Open compass to length AB, put on R – but we should use the same setting, not re - open to AB (we already have the setting from step 2 or 3).
• Option D: With same setting, put on A – A is on ∠C.

So the answer is B: "With the same compass setting as the previous step, put the compass point on R and draw another arc that intersects the arc constructed in the previous step. Label the intersection T."

Second Step Answer:

D. With the compass point on C, draw an arc that intersects the sides of ∠C. Label these points of intersection A and B.

Third Step Answer:

C. With the same compass setting, put the compass point on D. Draw an arc and label its point of intersection with the construction in the first step as R.

Fourth Step Answer:

B. With the same compass setting as the previous step, put the compass point on R and draw another arc that intersects the arc constructed in the previous step. Label the intersection T.
