Question
use a compass and straightedge to copy $overline{op}$. your final answer should be exactly one blue segment with point $o$ as one of the endpoints. compass segment ray line undo select a tool above.
Step1: Set compass width
Place the compass on point O and extend the other leg to point P to set the width of the compass equal to the length of segment $\overline{OP}$.
Step2: Draw an arc
With the compass width set as in Step 1, place the compass on point $O'$ and draw an arc.
Step3: Create the segment
Use the straight - edge to draw a segment from $O'$ to a point on the arc. Let's call the other endpoint of the segment $P'$. The segment $\overline{O'P'}$ is a copy of $\overline{OP}$.
