Question

PLEASE ANSWER A student used a compass and a straightedge to bisect /ABC in this figure.

Which statement best describes point S?
A.) point S is located such that SC=PQ
B.) point S is located such that SA=PQ
C.) point S is located such that PS=BQ
D.) point S is located such that QS=PS

Answer 1

The answer is choice D since making those two segments congruent is part of the construction of an angle bisector.

Answer 2

Answer:

Option D.

Step-by-step explanation:

A student used a compass and a straightedge to bisect angle ABC in the given figure.

We need to find the statement that best describes point S.

To bisect the angle ABC, the construction  stps are:

1. Place the compass on B and draw arc PQ.

2. Now place the compass on P, then draw an arc.

3. After-that without changing the compass, place the compass on Q, then draw an arc that intersect the arc at S.

It means

QS = PS

Hence, the correct option is D.
