Question

In the process of constructing $\angle PQR$ equal in measure to a given $\angle ABC$, which image represents the second step of construction.

• A.
• B.
• C.
• D.

Answer 1

The correct option is A

To construct $\angle PQR$ to be equal in measure to a given $\angle ABC$, the 1st step is:
1) Place the compass point at vertex B of ∠ABC and taking a convenient distance, draw an arc to cut the rays BA and BC at points D and E respectively.

2nd step:
Draw ray QR.
Using the same distance again, place the compass point at point Q of ray QR and draw an arc. Let this arc cut the ray QR at T.
