Question

question 1 / 5 annie is using a compass and straight edge to construct the angle bisector of ∠acb shown below. annie found points a and b by drawing an arc centered at point c. what is the next step in her construction? a. use the straight edge to draw the segment connecting point a and point b. b. use the straight edge to measure the distance from point a to point b. c. use the compass to draw an arc with a different radius that is centered at point c. d. use the compass to draw two arcs having the same radius, centered at point a and point b.

Explanation:

To construct an angle - bisector using a compass and straight - edge, after finding points A and B on the rays of the angle by drawing an arc centered at the vertex (point C), the next step is to draw two arcs of the same radius centered at A and B respectively. The intersection of these two arcs helps in finding a point on the angle - bisector.

Answer:

D. Use the compass to draw two arcs having the same radius, centered at Point A and Point B.
