Copying an Angle Construction Steps
- Step 1: Draw a ray to serve as the baseline for the copied angle.
- Step 2: With the compass on the vertex of the original angle, draw an arc that intersects both sides of the angle. Mark these intersection points for reference.
- Step 3: Maintain the same compass width; place the compass point on the endpoint of the previously drawn ray and create an arc that crosses this ray.
- Step 4: Position the compass point on one intersection point from the second step, and set the compass width using the other intersection point from the same step.
- Step 5: Without changing the compass width, relocate the compass point to where the arc from step 2 intersects the ray from step 1. Mark the intersection of these two arcs.
- Step 6: Utilize a straightedge to draw a ray starting from the endpoint of the initial ray, leading through the marked intersection point from step 5.
