Question #30
Reference Q.65116
Let's learn how to make an exact copy of an angle using only a compass.
Follow the steps below to learn how. Click on the answer under each step to
see if you did it right.
Step 1: Draw any angle (it doesn't matter what size) and one line of what will
become the 2nd angle (which will be the copy). We'll start with an acute angle.
Step 2: Extend your compass to any width and draw an arc that passes
through both lines of your angle. Then, without changing the width of the
compass, place one point on what will be the vertex of the 2nd angle and
draw another arc.
Step 3: Place points where the arc intersects with the first angle and extend
your compass to the width of those two points.
Step 4: Keeping your compass the same width, move to the 2nd line's arc
intersection and draw another arc that intersects with the arc that's already
there.
Step 5: Draw a line from the end of the line through the point where the arc
intersect and you'll have an exact copy of the first angle.
