Question

Some steps to construct an angle MNT congruent to angle PQR are listed below. Step 3 is not listed.

Step 1 - Use a compass to draw an arc from point Q which intersects the side PQ at point A and the side QR at point B.
Step 2 - Draw a segment NT and use the same width of the compass to draw an arc from point N which intersects the segment NT at a point X.
Step 3 -
Step 4 - Join points N and Y using a straightedge.

Which statement describes step 3 correctly?

Answer 1

A) Adjust the width of the compass to AB and draw an arc from point X such that it intersects the arc drawn from N in a point Y.

B) Adjust the width of the compass to AQ and draw an arc from point X such that it intersects the arc drawn from N in a point Y.

C) Adjust the width of the compass to BQ and draw an arc from point X such that it intersects the arc drawn from N in a point Y.

D) Adjust the width of the compass to NX and draw an arc from point X such that it intersects the arc drawn from N in a point Y.
