Question

The figure shows the construction steps to bisect an angle. The steps are in an incorrect order. What is the correct order of the steps to construct an angle bisector?

Answer 1

The correct order of the steps is CEABD ⇒ B

Explanation:

Let us arrange the figures

To construct a bisector of an angle

First: Draw angle AOB

First step is figure C

Second: Place the pin of the compass on point O and draw an arc intersects the two sides of the angle OA and OB at points D and E

Second step is figure E

Third: Place the compass on point D and draw an arc in the interior of the angle

Third step is figure A

Fourth: without change the open of the compass place its pin on point E and draw an arc which intersects the arc drawn from point D at point C

Fourth step is figure B

Fifth: Draw a line from point A to point C, this line AC is the bisector of angle AOB

Fifth step is figure D

The correct order of the steps is CEABD
