Construct an angle bisector with intersecting arcs

Problem

Complete the angle-bisector construction for angle \(ABC\) from the stated arc intersections. Give the arc centers and equal-radius condition, the final ray to draw, and the bisection result.

Big Picture

What this problem is really about

An angle construction works by building symmetry that can be proved, not by eyeballing a halfway direction. We’ll follow the two preserved-radius steps, record the equal lengths each one creates, and organize those lengths into a pair of triangles whose congruence certifies the final ray’s role.
