Question

jouri constructed $overline{pt}$ using a compass and straightedge. she then placed point $w$ so that it was not on the segment she just constructed, as shown in the image. what is the next step jouri must take to construct a copy of $overline{pt}$ using point $w$ as one of her endpoints? option #1: using a compass, measure the distance between point $p$ and point $w$. option #2: using a compass, measure the distance between point $t$ and point $w$. option #3: using a compass, measure the distance between point $t$ and point. (1 point) the next step jouri needs to take is option #□.

Explanation:

To construct a copy of segment $\overline{PT}$ with $W$ as one - endpoint, we first need to measure the length of the original segment $\overline{PT}$. Measuring the distance between $T$ and $P$ with a compass gives us the length of $\overline{PT}$ which we can then use to create a congruent segment starting from $W$.

Answer:

1. Using a compass, measure the distance between point $T$ and point $P$
