Draw an arch between line AC and line AB with thepoint of the compass on point A

Copy the same arch, starting with the point of your compass at point C

Measure the first arch, where it passes through each line with your compass

Now, using the compass make the distance of point ones arch at point 2

Lastly, draw a line through point C, and where the second arch and dash intersect
