Question

Given below are some of the steps that are involved in copying an angle, arrange them in the correct order.

• A. Measure distance
• B. Draw a line
• C. Draw arc on line
• D. Arc on new ray

Answer 1

The steps involved in replicating an angle are as follows:

• Draw a line with the straight edge and mark a point on it
• Draw an arc of any radius, centered at point $O$ of angle $AOB$
• Using the same radius, draw an arc on the new ray
• Measure the distance between the points where the arc intersects the arms of angle $AOB$ with the compass
• With the same length, draw an arc, centered at the intersection point of the earlier arc and ray
• Draw a line segment from $O^{\prime }$ to the intersection point of the two arcs
