Look at the figure. what is the next step in this construction of a line parallel to ac passing through point b.
a. use a protractor to measure ∠bac
b. draw a line through point b that intersects arc 2.
c. measure the distance between ab and ac along arc 1 with a ruler.
d. measure the distance between ab and ac along arc 1 with a compass.

Option A is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

In the given figure to draw the parallel line to AC passing through B we have to tell the next step.

As lines AC and AB given and we know if lines are parallel then alternate angles are equal.

Hence, if line through B parallel to AC drawn then alternate angles ∠BAC and ∠ABD equal.

∴ To draw parallel lines our next step is to use a protractor to measure ∠BAC so that the same angle through B is drawn results in equal alternate interior angles.

Hence, Option A is correct.
