Where should the compass point be placed initially?

• At the intersection of the arcs

• At the midpoint of the angle

• At the vertex of the angle

• On one side of the angle

What is the purpose of drawing the initial arc?

• To draw a straight line

• To measure the angle

• To intersect the two sides of the angle

• To find the midpoint

How many points of intersection are created by the initial arc?

• One

• Two

• Three

• Four

What should be done after drawing the initial arc?

• Measure the angle

• Create two more arcs from the points of intersection

• Change the compass width

• Draw a straight line

Why is it important to keep the compass width the same when drawing the two additional arcs?

• To ensure accuracy

• To make the arcs larger

• To change the angle

• To draw a straight line
