Complete construction with straightedge and compass. include the individual steps for the construction along with an accompanying explanation for the construction–why does this construction satisfy the “to Construct”?

 

 

 

 

 

Construction 2: To construct an angle congruent to a given angle
Given: ZA
To construct: An angle congruent to Z A
Construction:
With A as center and a convenient radius, construct an arc (1) intersecting
the sides of A and B and C. With A', a point on a working line w, as
center and the same radius, construct arc (2) intersecting w at B' as center
and a radius equal to BC, construct arc (3) intersecting arc (2) at C'. Draw
A'C'. Then <A' is the required angle. (AABC= AA'B'C' by s.s.s.s.S.S.;
hence ZA ZA'.)
Explanation
ZA ZA since AABCAA'B'C' by s.s.s. and c.p.t.c.
