Question

2.3.3 quiz: geometric constructions with lines and angles mastery test mason is creating a design using a straightedge and compass. he wants to construct a segment fg, which is congruent to segment be in the given figure. to what width should mason set his compass when constructing segment fg? a. the distance from a to c b. the distance from d to f c. the distance from f to c d. the distance from b to e

Explanation:

To construct a segment congruent to $\overline{BE}$, the compass must be set to the length of $\overline{BE}$, as this is the exact width needed to transfer the segment's length to create $\overline{FG}$.

Answer:

D. the distance from B to E
