Points A and B with identical construction marks as parts of a circle with center point A.

After plotting point C, he will draw three line segments to connect points A, B, and C. What steps should he follow to plot point C?


Without changing the compass width, draw an arc from B to intersect the other arc, and plot point C.


Without changing the compass width, draw an arc from B, and plot point C on the new arc.


Increase the compass width, draw an arc from B to intersect the other arc, and plot point C.


Increase the compass width, draw an arc from B, and plot point C on the new arc.
