Question

use the drag and drop options below to order the steps for constructing a copy of line segment pq

Explanation:

Step1: Draw a ray

Draw a ray with an endpoint, say point A.

Step2: Set compass width

Open the compass to the length of line - segment PQ. Place the compass on point P and adjust it so that the other end of the compass is on point Q.

Step3: Transfer length

With the compass width set to the length of PQ, place the compass on the endpoint A of the ray and draw an arc that intersects the ray at a point, say point B. The line - segment AB is a copy of line - segment PQ.

Answer:

1. Draw a ray with an endpoint A.
2. Open the compass to the length of PQ (place compass on P and adjust to Q).
3. Place the compass on A and draw an arc intersecting the ray at B to get copy AB of PQ.
