ben uses a compass and a straightedge to construct ∠def ≅ ∠abc, as shown below:
the art shows two figures. the figure on the left shows two rays ba and bc having a common end point b. an arc drawn from b cut
which statement best explains why ben uses the width bi to create the arc jk from point e? (6 points)
a. ∠def ≅ ∠abc when bh = ek, bi = jk, and hi = ej.
b. bi = jk when ∠def ≅ ∠abc .
c. bi = ej when ∠def ≅ ∠abc.
d. ∠def ≅ ∠abc when bh = ej, bi = ek, and hi = jk.

answer: : ∠def ≅ ∠abc when jk is constructed equal to hi. a

the figure shows two triangles bhi and ejk constructed using a compass and a straightedge. from the given construction you can conclude that bh≅bi≅ej≅ek (teo arcs drawn must have the same radii). if hi≅jk, then triangles bhi and ejk are congruent by sss postulate.if two triangles are congruent, then their corresponding sides and corresponding angles are congruent too. this gives you that ∠def≅∠abc.
