Della wrote the following steps to construct the path QS.

Step
Description
1
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.

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

answers:
Which is the first step that was done incorrectly?

Step 3, because the width of the compass should be changed.

Step 1, because the compass should be placed at points P and R.
