Directions
Use the tools provided to construct an angle congruent to the given angle
CONSTRUCTION STEPS:
1) Use the SEGMENT TOOL to create segment DE that doesn't intersect with Angle CAB.
2) Use the POINT TOOL to mark point F anywhere on segment AB
3) Use the COMPASS TOOL to create a circle with radius AF and center point A
4) Use the COMPASS TOOL to create a congruent circle (with radius AF) centered at point D
If your second circle intersects the original angle or the first circle, you can use the MOVE TOOL to adjust
points D or F.
5) Use the POINT TOOL to mark point G where circle A intersects segment AC.
6) Use the POINT TOOL to mark point H where circle D intersects segment DE
7) Use the COMPASS TOOL to create a circle with radius FG and center point F
8) Use the COMPASS TOOL to create a congruent circle (with radius FG) centered at point H
9) Mark point I where circles D and H intersect
10) Use the SEGMENT TOOL to draw segment DI
11) Use the angle tool to measure the original angle and the constructed angle.
12) Take a screenshot of your construction and paste it into OneNote.
