Noah is trying to bisect angle BAC. He draws circles of the same radius with centers B and C and then uses one of the points of intersection for his ray. What mistake has Noah made in his construction

Sagot :

The mistake done by Noah in his construction is that; length of the line segment AB and AC should be equal.

How to bisect an angle?

The steps in bisecting an angle say PQR is as follows;

Start with angle PQR that we will bisect.

1.  Place the compasses' point on the angle's vertex Q.

2.  Adjust the compasses to a medium wide setting. The exact width is not important.

3.  Without changing the compasses' width, draw an arc across each leg of the angle.

4.  The compasses' width can be changed here if desired. Recommended: leave it the same.

5.  Place the compasses on the point where one arc crosses a leg and draw an arc in the interior of the angle.

6.  Without changing the compasses setting repeat for the other leg so that the two arcs cross.

7.  Using a straightedge or ruler, draw a line from the vertex to the point where the arcs cross.

8. This is the bisector of the angle ∠PQR.

Therefore, the mistake done by Noah is that length of the line segment AB and AC should be equal in order to bisect it.
