Question

Sophie is making a copy of an angle. The original angle will be labeled G and the new angle will be labeled B. She has just finished using a compass, with the point on G, to draw an arc that intersects both rays of angle G. Which of the following should she do next

Answer 1

The next step is;

Label the two intersection points

Explanation:

To make a copy of an angle, the steps are;

1) Draw the rays of the original angle passing through the point B

2) Open the compass slightly and place the compass point on the vertices G where the two rays meet to draw an arc that intersect both rays

3) Label the point of intersection of both rays points C and D

4) With the compass still opened to the same width, move the compass to the point B on the line the angle is to be copied and draw a similar arc intersecting the ray at J

5) Open the compass to the width of C and D on the original angle and place the compass at point J to mark the arc on the copied angle location at M

6) Draw a line from B passing through M to complete the second ay of the copied angle.
