Question

1. what is the second step to construct a congruent triangle such that δfgh ≅ δjkl? draw an arc for point k measure fg. measure jk draw point f in space.

Explanation:

To construct a congruent triangle \( \triangle FGH \cong \triangle JKL \), the general steps for triangle construction (using SSS, SAS, etc.) start with identifying corresponding parts. First, we would typically have a base or a starting segment. The second step often involves measuring a side of the original triangle (here, \( \overline{FG} \) should correspond to a side of \( \triangle JKL \), likely \( \overline{JK} \) or another side, but the key is that after identifying the first part, measuring the length of \( \overline{FG} \) (or the corresponding side from the original triangle) is a logical second step. Among the options, "Measure \( \overline{FG} \)" is the correct second step as we need to determine the length of a side to replicate it in the congruent triangle.

Answer:

B. Measure \( \overline{FG} \) (assuming the options are labeled A, B, C, D with A: Draw an arc for point K, B: Measure \( \overline{FG} \), C: Measure \( \overline{JK} \), D: Draw point F in space)
