Question

question 2 / 3
listed below, not in order, are the four steps for copying ∠a using a compass and a straightedge. given ∠a, which of the following will be the second step in the construction?
a. draw dg.
b. draw a ray. label it df.
c. draw an arc with center a. mark the points of intersection as m and n. using the same radius, draw an arc with center d. label the point of intersection as p.
d. set your compass to the distance between points m and n. using that distance as the radius, draw an arc with center p. select either point of intersection of arc d and arc p. label that point of intersection g.

Explanation:

The first step in copying an angle is usually to draw a ray. After that, we draw an arc with the center at the vertex of the given angle to mark points of intersection on its sides. Then we use the same - radius to draw an arc on the new ray.

Answer:

C. Draw an arc with center A. Mark the points of intersection as M and N. Using the same radius, draw an arc with center D. Label the point of intersection as P.
