Final answer:

To construct the bisector of angle BAC using only a ruler and compasses, draw arcs and line segments to find the point where they intersect.

Step-by-step explanation:

To construct the bisector of angle BAC using only a ruler and compasses, follow these steps:

  1. Draw a line segment AB and place the compass point at A.
  2. With any radius greater than half the length of AB, draw arcs that intersect AB at points C and D.
  3. Place the compass point at C and D successively to draw arcs that intersect each other at point E.
  4. Draw the line segment AE. This line is the bisector of angle BAC.

Make sure to draw all construction lines step by step to show your process.
