Question

With your COMPASS, copy segment AB to create segment CD. LIST YOUR STEPS TO JUSTIFY.

Answer 1

(MY RESPONSE)
First Step: Draw a ray with one endpoint.

Second Step: Open the compass to the width of your given segment.

Third Step: Place the compass on the new ray's endpoint, and swing an arc that intersects the ray.

Fourth Step: The intersection point of the ray and arc is the second endpoint that makes the new line segment congruent to the given one.

*IS THAT RIGHT?*

Answer 2

With your COMPASS, bisect segment AB from problem 1.

Answer 3

With your COMPASS, copy angle ABC to create angle DEF. LIST YOUR STEPS TO JUSTIFY.

Answer 4

(MY RESPONSE)
First Step: Draw a ray with one endpoint. (That endpoint will be the vertex of your new angle.)

Second Step: Place the compass on the vertex of the given angle then swing an arc that intersects both of the rays of the given angle.

Third Step: Place the compass on the vertex for a new angle, then swing an arc similar to the first one that you created.

Fourth Step: Open the compass to the width of the intersection points of the rays and arc of the given angle.

Fifth Step: Place the compass on the intersection point of the ray and arc of the new angle, then swing another arc that intersects the first one.

Sixth Step: Draw a ray through the new vertex and then the intersection point of the two arcs.

Seventh Step: The second ray creates an angle that is congruent to the given angle.
