Question 1-8 Braydon says that to construct a copy of an angle using a compass, he follows the same steps for constructing a copy of a line segment and then adds an additional r Braydon's steps line and marking a starting point The next step of measuring the length of the segment with the compass

It seems like Braydon is mixing up the steps for constructing a copy of an angle and a line segment. Let's clarify the steps for both constructions: ### Constructing a Copy of an Angle: 1. **Draw a Ray**: Start by drawing a ray (line) that will be the initial side of the angle you want to copy. 2. **Place the Compass**: Place the compass point on the vertex of the angle you want to copy. 3. **Draw an Arc**: Draw an arc that intersects both sides of the angle. This will create two points on the angle's sides. 4. **Measure the Arc**: Without changing the compass width, place the compass point on the first intersection point and draw an arc across the ray you drew in step 1. 5. **Transfer the Arc**: Now, measure the distance between the two intersection points on the original angle with the compass. 6. **Mark the Second Point**: Use this measurement to mark a second point on the arc you drew in step 4. 7. **Draw the Angle**: Finally, draw a line from the vertex (the starting point of the ray) to the second point you marked. This completes the angle copy. ### Constructing a Copy of a Line Segment: 1. **Draw a Line**: Start by drawing a line segment (ray) where you want to copy the segment. 2. **Measure the Segment**: Place the compass point on one endpoint of the original line segment and draw an arc to measure its length. 3. **Transfer the Length**: Without changing the compass width, place the compass point on the starting point of the new line segment and draw an arc. 4. **Mark the Endpoint**: Mark the point where the arc intersects the line you drew in step 1. This point is the endpoint of the copied segment. 5. **Draw the Segment**: Finally, connect the starting point to the endpoint to complete the line segment copy. ### Conclusion: Braydon's steps for copying an angle should not include the steps for copying a line segment. Each construction has its own specific steps, and while they may share some similarities (like using a compass), they are distinct processes.
