By using a compass, D and G were marked equidistant from Vertex E. The compass was then used to locate point F, distant from E, so that F is equidistant from D and G. For all constructions defined by the above steps, the measures of DEF and GEF

• are equal

• are NOT equal

• sum to 45°

• sum to 30°
