**Constructing an Isosceles Triangle**

**Given:** ∠A and line segment BC

**Objective:** Construct an isosceles triangle with a vertex angle congruent to ∠A and legs congruent to line segment BC. Remember that the vertex angle is included by the legs.

**Diagram Explanation:**

1. **Angle Representation:**
   - An angle labeled ∠A is depicted using two rays originating from a common point, showing the opening of the angle.

2. **Line Segment:**
   - A straight line segment labeled BC is displayed, indicating the length that the legs of the isosceles triangle will replicate.

**Instructions for Construction:**
To form this isosceles triangle, ensure that both legs are equal in length to BC, and the angle between them matches ∠A. The angle's rays should be considered as the preliminary guides for the legs of your triangle.

--- 

This exercise aims to solidify the understanding of isosceles triangle properties and basic geometric construction techniques.
