Question

some steps to construct an angle mnt congruent to angle pqr are listed below. step 1: draw a segment nt. step 2: use a compass to draw an arc from point q that intersects the side pq of angle pqr at point a and the side qr at point b. step 3: step 4: adjust the width of the compass to ab, and draw an arc from point x such that it intersects the arc drawn from n in a point y. step 5: join points n and y using a straightedge. which statement describes step 3 correctly? use the same width of the compass to draw an arc from point t that intersects the segment nt at a point x. use the same width of the compass to draw an arc from point n that intersects the segment nt at a point x. use the same width of the compass to draw an arc from point a that intersects the segment nt at a point x. use the same width of the compass to draw an arc from point b that intersects the segment nt at a point x.

Explanation:

When constructing a congruent angle, after drawing an arc from the vertex of the given angle (point Q in ∠PQR) and getting intersection points A and B, the next step is to draw an arc from the vertex of the new - to - be - constructed angle (point N in ∠MNT) with the same compass width. This arc will intersect the segment NT at a point X.

Answer:

Use the same width of the compass to draw an arc from point N that intersects the segment NT at a point X.
