## anonymous one year ago Explain how you can use a straightedge and a compass to construct an angle that is both congruent and adjacent to a given angle

To construct an adyacent angle to another, and for it to be congruent we have to begin by tking the compass and drawing an arch we can call "$$\beta$$ " in such a way that it intersects the given angle, let's call it $$\alpha$$, in two points $$A$$ and $$B$$ which is any radius pretty much, let's now say that the two semilines whose origin lies on the vertice of angle $$\alpha$$, are the semilines (l) and (r) respectively therefore point $$A$$ lies on the semiline (l) and point $$B$$ lies on the semiline (r). With that said, we will take point $$B$$ as a center, and radius $$AB$$ and draw a semicircle we can call $$\delta$$ on the line (r) in such way that it doesn't intersect the semiline (l). Now, let's extend arch $$\beta$$ and intersect it with arch $$\delta$$ and it will define a new point $$C$$ and this point will define another semiline (w) , that has it's origin on the vertex of angle $$\alpha$$. Then semilines (r) and (w) will define an angle congruent and adyacent to $$\alpha$$.

Sorry, I had to think this through.
