Alex needs to bisect ABC\angle ABC using a compass and straightedge. He starts by performing the following steps. Step 1: Place the compass on vertex B of the angle.

Step 5: ________________________________. What are the next two steps Alex should take in his construction?

a)

Step 4: Adjust the compass width to be half the distance between point B and point E, and then place the compass on point E and draw an arc in the interior of the angle that crosses the other arc. Step 5: Place the compass at point D and draw an arc in the interior of the angle.
