Math Problem Statement
Solution
The correct order for constructing the bisector of angle is:
- Step B: With the tip of a pair of compasses at , draw an arc which crosses and .
- Step A: Place the tip of the compasses where your arc crosses . Draw an arc in the middle of the angle.
- Step D: Without changing the width of the compasses, place the tip where your first arc crosses . Draw an arc which crosses your previous arc.
- Step C: Draw a line from the point where the arcs meet to .
This sequence ensures the angle bisector is drawn accurately.
