Question

1. look at the figure. in the construction, the compass point is placed on point p. arcs are drawn to intersect line l in two points. describe the segments (overline{ap}) and (overline{bp}). the segments are parallel. the segments are not related. the segments are congruent. the segments are perpendicular.

Explanation:

When the compass point is placed on point P and arcs are drawn to intersect line l at two points A and B, the lengths of segments PA and PB are determined by the radius of the arcs. Since the arcs are drawn with the same compass - setting (radius), by the definition of congruent segments (segments with equal lengths), segments PA and PB are congruent.

Answer:

The segments are congruent.
