The steps below describe the construction of a line AG which is parallel to segment PQ and passes through a point A above PQ: Step 1 shows a segment PQ with an external point A. A line drawn from A intersects PQ at a point B. Step 2 shows an arc drawn f

In the next step an arc is drawn from point F which intersects the arc through F in point G. What statement is true for this step? (5 points)

Select one:
a. The width of the compass is equal to BE.
b. The width of the compass is equal to DE.
c. The width of the compass is equal to AE.
d. The width of the compass is equal to A F.

Step-by-step explanation:

A segment PQ with an external point A

Step 1 :   A line drawn from A intersects PQ at a point B

Step 2  : An arc drawn from B that intersects BQ in D and BA in E.

Step 3  :  Keeping same width of compass An arc drawn from A that intersects  the segment BA extended in a point F

Step 4 : An arc is drawn from point F which intersects the arc through F in point G Taking Width of compass = DE
