ANSWER

Step-by-step explanation

Step 1: place the compass with center on A and a radius less than the length of the two lines drawn. Draw an arc intersecting both lines,

Step 2: draw another arc with center on B and any radius, r,

Step 3: without changing the radius, draw a new arc with center on C,

Step 4: draw a line using the straightedge from point A to the intersection of the two arcs. This is the angle bisector,
