Question

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

Step 1 - Draw a segment NT.
Step 2 - Use a compass to draw an arc from point Q which intersects the side PQ of angle PQR at point A and the side QR at point B.
Step 3 -
Step 4 - 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.
Step 5 - Join points N and Y using a straightedge.

Answer 1

Which statement describes step 3 correctly?

Without changing the compass width, draw an arc from point A which intersects the segment NT at a point X.

Without changing the compass width, draw an arc from point N which intersects the segment NT at a point X.

Without changing the compass width, draw an arc from point B which intersects the segment NT at a point X.

Without changing the compass width, draw an arc from point T which intersects the segment NT at a point X.

Answer 2

@ganeshie8 i think it is B?

Answer 3

you're essentially copying the angle Q to angle N. so you use the copy angle constructions. B is right !

Answer 4

@ganeshie8 yay lol sorry im asking so many questions i just always second guess myself

Answer 5

hey u dont have to medal me everytime. im helping u cuz u r very good at these lol :)

Answer 6
