Below is a stage in the construction of an equilateral triangle inscribed in a circle. Which of the following sentences describes the next step in the construction? A. Place the compass needle on point B, set the compass width to be more than half of AB, and draw arcs above and below the approximate center of AB. B. Place the compass needle on point B, set the compass width to be more than half of AB, and draw an arc intersecting AB. C. Place the compass needle on point B and draw a circle with a radius equal to AB. D. Place the compass needle on the bisector of AB, and draw a circle that has points A and B as endpoints of its diameter.

What is the first step when constructing an angle bisector using only a compass and a straightedge? A. Place the compass needle on one of the legs of the angle, and draw an arc intersecting the other leg. B. Mark a point outside the angle, and draw an arc centered at the point, intersecting the vertex of the angle. C. Mark a point outside the angle, and draw a ray in any direction from the point. D. Place the compass needle on the vertex of the angle, and draw an arc across both legs of the angle. E. Mark a point in the angle's interior, and draw an arc centered at the point, intersecting both legs of the angle.
