Question

what is the correct sequence of steps needed to copy angle abc onto ray de to create angle fde? draw ray jf. draw ray df. keeping the same width, set compass point on e and draw a similar arc, creating point j. keeping the same width, set compass point on d and draw a similar arc, creating point j. set the compass point on b and using a convenient width, draw an arc across the two sides of the angle, creating the points g and h. set the compass width

Explanation:

Step1: Set compass on B

Set the compass point on B and using a convenient width, draw an arc across the two sides of the angle, creating the points G and H.

Step2: Draw arc from D

Keeping the same width, set compass point on D and draw a similar arc, creating point J.

Step3: Measure distance on original angle

Set the compass width to the distance between G and H.

Step4: Mark point on new arc

Keeping the same compass - width, set the compass point on J and draw an arc that intersects the previously drawn arc from D, creating a new point (not labeled in the steps but necessary).

Step5: Draw ray DF

Draw ray DF.

Step6: Draw ray JF

Draw ray JF.

Answer:

1. Set the compass point on B and using a convenient width, draw an arc across the two sides of the angle, creating the points G and H.
2. Keeping the same width, set compass point on D and draw a similar arc, creating point J.
3. Set the compass width to the distance between G and H.
4. Keeping the same compass - width, set the compass point on J and draw an arc that intersects the previously drawn arc from D.
5. Draw ray DF.
6. Draw ray JF.
