Verified Answer :

Answer:

The next step is to use the compass to find the angle bisector for angle A.

Step-by-step explanation:

To construct a circle inscribed in a triangle we have following step of construction.

Step 1: To construct incenter.

Firstly, it is given that Alexa has partially completed the construction in which she constructs the angle bisector of B. Now, in order to construct incenter we need two angle bisectors and the intersection point of two angle bisector gives incenter.

Hence, her next step in the construction should be to draw one more angle bisector i.e use the compass to ind the angle bisector for angle A
