Following the steps below, what is the next step in constructing a congruent angle? 1: Start by drawing angle BAC.
2: Make a point P that will be the vertex of the new angle.
3: From P, draw a ray PQ. This will become one side of the new angle. This ray can go off in any direction. It does not have to be parallel to anything else.
4: Place the compass tip on point A, set to any convenient width.
5: Draw an arc across both sides of the angle, creating the points J and K as shown.
6: Without changing the compass's width, place the compass point on P and draw a similar arc there, creating point M as shown.
7: Set the compass on K and adjust its width to point J.
8: Without changing the compass's width, move the compass to M and draw an arc across the first one, creating point L where they cross.
9: ?
Draw a ray PR from P through L and onwards a little further. The exact length is not important.
From B, mark off a short arc above P.
Using the straight edge, draw a line from A to where the arcs cross.
Draw a line segment of any length, PQ. P will be the angle's vertex.
