Adjust the compass to a medium wide setting. The exact width is not important.
Without changing the compass width, draw an arc across each leg of the angle.
Place the compass on the point where one arc crosses a leg and draw an arc in the interior of the angle.
Without changing the compass width, repeat for the other leg so that the two arcs cross.
Use a straightedge to draw a line from the vertex to the point where the arcs cross.
Place the compass on one end of the line segment. Set the compass width to approximately two thirds the line length. Actual width does not mater
Hold the compass in place and without changing the width , draw an arc above and below the line. (You can also draw it through the line)
Without changing the compass width, move the compass point to the other endpoint of the segment. Draw another arc above and below the line so that the arcs cross the first ones.
Using a straightedge, draw a line between the points where the arcs intersect.
Set the compass width to approximately 50% more than the distance to the line. The exact width does not matter.
Draw an arc across the line on each side of “R”, making sure not to adjust the compass width in between.
At this point, you can adjust the compass width. From each point where the arcs intersect the segment, draw and arc below the line so that the arcs cross. Keep the width the same when drawing both of these arcs.
Using a straightedge, draw a line from point “R” to where the arcs intersect.
