Adjust the compass to a medium width and place it at point Q and draw an arc which cuts side PQ at point L and side QR at point M.
2 Keep the compass width to less than the width of LM and place it at point P and draw an arc between sides PQ and QR.
3 Keep the width of the compass the same and place it at point M and draw an arc which intersects the previous arc at a point N.
4 Use a straightedge to connect the points Q and N and extend it until S.
Which is the first step that was done incorrectly?
