Question

You are constructing triangle ABC given the line segments AB and AC and ∠A. The first thing you do is copy segment AC. Next, you copy angle A using A on the segment AC as the vertex. What is the next step?

Answer 1

copy AB

Explanation:

Answer 2

Cut the line making angle A with AB a length equal to AC

Explanation:

ABC is a triangle and AB,AC and angle A are given.

We are to construct the triangle

Since two sides and one angle is known we can construct a unique triangle

First step is copy AB then angle A

Once these are done we can cut a length equal to AC in the line making angle A with AB.

This intersection will give point C

Then join BC to get full triangle ABC
