3. After the side JK is extended and the compass point is on point L with a width beyond JK, what is the next step in constructing the orthocenter in AJKL? K Set the compass so it is greater than the length of JL, and place on point K. Extend side JL. Place the compass on both arcs, and draw an intersecting arc. Mark 2 arcs on JK.
