Copying an Angle Alissa Morris 4 Hour Honors Geometry
Step 1 Start with angle BAC.
Step 2 Using the straightedge, draw a reference line and place a point P near the left end.
Step 3 Set the compass width to the distance AC, and without adjusting the compass, place it on P and mark an arc across the line. This establishes the point Q.
Step 4 With the compass on point A set its width to the point B.
Step 5 Without changing the compass width, place the compass point on the point P and draw an arc above the line.
Step 6 Place the compass point on C and set its width to the point B.
Step 7 Without changing the compass width, place the compass point on the point Q and draw an arc across the previously drawn arc. The intersection of these two arcs becomes point R.
Step 8 Using the straightedge, draw a line from point P to R where the arcs intersect.
Step 9 The angle QPR is congruent to the angle CAB.
