What is the first step when constructing an angle bisector using only a compass and a straightedge?

Answer 1

Place the compass at the vertex, draw an arc crossing both legs at pints A and B
Now keep the radius of the compass constant, put the compass at the insect point A on one leg, draw an arc onto the angle.
Now continue to keep the radius of the compass constant, draw another arc from the intersection point B on the other leg. both arcs will cross at point P
connect P and the vertex of the angle. that is your bisector.

Answer 2

A) Place the compass needle on one of the legs of the angle, and draw an arc intersecting the other leg.
b) Mark a point outside the angle, and draw an arc centered at the point, intersecting the vertex of the angle.
c) Mark a point outside the angle, and draw a ray in any direction from the point.
d) Place the compass needle on the vertex of the angle, and draw an arc across both legs of the angle.
e) Mark a point in the angle's interior, and draw an arc centered at the point, intersecting both legs of the angle.
