Full solution stays hidden until you ask for it.
1. Identify what distances the compass makes equal.
2. Connect those equal distances to a known geometric relationship.
3. State why the target construction follows.
Use the worked steps, then substitute the final answer back into the original relationship to confirm it satisfies the prompt.
Saying it works because it looks correct.
