Question

question 5 / 7 let me know if the following answer is true or false? -student a is constructing congruent segments, which involves: drawing a new ray elsewhere on the paper. using a compass set to the length of the given segment to transfer that length onto the new ray. -student b is constructing a segment bisector, which involves: not drawing a new ray, but working directly on the segment. using a compass to draw arcs above and below the segment from both endpoints, which helps locate the midpoint and construct the perpendicular bisector. both use a compass and straightedge, but their goals and steps differ. a. true b. false

Explanation:

For constructing congruent segments, the steps include drawing a new ray and using a compass to transfer the length, which is correct. For constructing a segment bisector, working on the original segment and using arcs from endpoints to find the midpoint and bisector is correct. Both use compass and straightedge, with different goals (congruent segment vs bisector) and steps, so the statement is true.

Answer:

A. True
