Question

lesson 5 constructing segments part 2 lucia constructed \\(\overline{cd}\\) as a copy of \\(\overline{ab}\\) using a straightedge and compass. what can lucia say about \\(ab\\) and \\(cd\\)? (1 point) \\(\bigcirc\\) \\(ab = \frac{1}{2}cd\\) \\(\bigcirc\\) \\(ab = \frac{1}{4}cd\\) \\(\bigcirc\\) \\(ab = 2cd\\) \\(\bigcirc\\) \\(ab = cd\\)

Explanation:

When a segment is copied using a straightedge and compass, the length of the copied segment is equal to the length of the original segment. Lucia constructed \(\overline{CD}\) as a copy of \(\overline{AB}\), so their lengths should be equal, meaning \(AB = CD\).

Answer:

\(AB = CD\) (the option with this statement, likely the last one marked with a dot in the image)
