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.

Answer 4

yeah i can

Answer 5

ok :-)

Answer 6

messy but you'll get it i hope

Answer 7

uhm im not really good at this could you explain it more

Answer 8

You adjust the compass to the size of the intersection points A and B, then place the sharp end on the intersection point X, and make an arc over the arc that is there to create intersection point Y
