The construction demonstrated in this video involves copying the length of one line segment (AB) to another (BC).
To perform this construction using the circle arc template, Chris follows these steps:
He first bisects the given angle ABC so that a ray is formed. He then drops a perpendicular line segment from the point A to the ray that was formed. This ray meets the line segment BC at the point D with BD = AB in terms of length.
