Question

use a compass and straightedge to bisect ∠i. your final answer should be exactly one blue ray. compass segment ray line undo select a tool above.

Explanation:

Step1: Place compass on vertex I

Set the compass to any convenient width and draw an arc that intersects both rays of ∠I. Let the intersection points be A and B.

Step2: Place compass on A

Set the compass width to a length greater than half the distance between A and B. Draw an arc inside the angle.

Step3: Without changing compass width

Place the compass on B and draw another arc inside the angle such that it intersects the previous arc. Let the intersection point of these two arcs be C.

Step4: Draw the bisecting ray

Use the straightedge to draw a ray from vertex I through point C. This is the bisector of ∠I.

Answer:

The ray IC (where C is the intersection - point of the two arcs drawn in steps 2 and 3) is the bisecting ray of ∠I.
