Question

use a compass and straightedge to copy $overline{vw}$. your final answer should be exactly one blue segment with point $v$ as one of the endpoints. click and drag to draw a circle.

Explanation:

Step1: Measure length of \( \overline{VW} \)

Use compass: Place compass point on \( V \), adjust to \( W \) to set radius \( VW \).

Step2: Draw arc from \( V' \)

Place compass point on \( V' \), draw arc (radius \( VW \)) to mark \( W' \) such that \( V'W' = VW \).

Step3: Draw segment \( \overline{V'W'} \)

Use straightedge to connect \( V' \) and \( W' \), creating \( \overline{V'W'} \cong \overline{VW} \).

Answer:

The copied segment \( \overline{V'W'} \) (with \( V' \) as one endpoint, length equal to \( \overline{VW} \)) is drawn.
