You are constructing triangle abc given the line segments ab and ac and ∠a. the first thing you do is copy segment ac. next, you copy angle a using a on the segment ac as the vertex. what is the next step?

Cut the line making angle A with AB a length equal to AC

Step-by-step explanation:

ABC is a triangle and AB,AC and angle A are given.

We are to construct the triangle

Since two sides and one angle is known we can construct a unique triangle

First step is copy AB then angle A

Once these are done we can cut a length equal to AC in the line making angle A with AB.

This intersection will give point C

Then join BC to get full triangle ABC
