Question

arttu followed the following instructions: draw an angle using a straightedge with vertex point q. place points p and r at the end of the angle - forming segments $overline{qp}$ and $overline{qr}$. using a compass, draw an arc that intersects both sides of the angle. place two points, a and b, at the intersection of the arc with both sides of the angle. placing the pointed end of the compass on point a, draw a smaller arc inside the angle that extends more than halfway across the inside of the angle. placing the pointed end of the compass on point b, draw a smaller arc inside the angle that extends more than halfway across the inside of the angle. * place point c at the intersection of the two smaller arcs and draw a segment from the vertex point q to point c. what term best describes segment $overline{qc}$? (1 point) midpoint an arc segment bisector angle bisector

Explanation:

The steps describe the construction of dividing an angle into two equal - parts. The line segment $\overline{QC}$ that is constructed in this process divides the angle $\angle PQR$ into two congruent angles. This is the definition of an angle bisector.

Answer:

angle bisector
