You could do it by drawing an arc with B as the center. Then cut the arc twice using the same radius as set in the compass.
Given that the length of Taking radius
cut
This gives you point A.
Now join to
with the help of a ruler.
We now need to draw a perpendicular bisector of BC. This can be done by taking a certain length in the compass and make arcs as shown in the diagram keeping point B and C as the center. Make sure that you keep the width of the compass same for all the four arcs.
The join the two points of intersection. This gives the perpendicular bisector. Draw perpendicular bisector of
Draw a circle as center and
as radius.
Now draw angle bisector of which intersects circle at
