So, I might be wrong about this, but I think the sequence should be: Fourth one Third one Second one Fifth one First one I'm just basing this on the fact that you need to create points S and T before the steps involving S and T, which you then need to create point U, which you need for the next step.

jasonmitchell:

maybe but do you they have anyone else by chance ? i appreciate you're helping me

SmokeyBrown:

https://www.themathpage.com/aBookI/propI-9-10.htm I found a quick tutorial on bisecting angles with a compass. I think it'll help you solve the problem.

jasonmitchell:

hmm ok

jasonmitchell:

what do you think about your answer in the correct order ?

Ashton is constructing the bisector of MN¯¯¯¯¯¯¯. https://static.k12.com/nextgen_media/assets/8080668-NG_GMT_I_01_U03_Quiz_09.png What should Ashton do for his first step? A. Place the point of the compass on point M and draw an arc, making sure the width of the compass opening is greater than 12MN. B. Use the straightedge to draw a line that passes through point M. C. Place the point of the compass on point M and draw an arc, making sure the width of the compass opening is less than 12MN. D. Use the straightedge to extend MN¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ in both directions.
