Copying Angles with Compass and Straightedge

The video tutorial demonstrates how to copy angle B using a straight edge and compass. It begins with constructing a reference line, labeled as ray G, and then uses a compass fixed on vertex B to draw intersecting arcs. The intersection points are labeled as A and C. The compass is then used to transfer the arc to point G, maintaining the length equal to line segment AC. Finally, ray GD is constructed to complete the angle copy, concluding that angle B is congruent to angle G.
