You can't just Join C-D.... You have to make sure ... That the line you draw from C is perpendicular to BC first.

OpenStudy (dariyana):

OpenStudy (paxpolaris):

OpenStudy (paxpolaris):

@dariyana ?? you follow why?

OpenStudy (dariyana):

no not really @PaxPolaris

OpenStudy (paxpolaris):

you should Place the compass on point P and draw an arc below the line BT. then Place the compass on point Q and draw an arc that meets the other arc you made... then pass a line through the point where they meet and C.

OpenStudy (dariyana):
