Question

Which step in the construction of copying a line segment ensures that the new line segment has

Answer 1

The steps 5 and 6 in the construction of a new line segment  ensures the lengths are equal.

A line segment in geometry has two different points on it that define its boundaries. Alternatively, we may define a line segment as a section of a line that joins two points.

Below are the steps for copying a line segment:

• 1. Let's begin with a line segment we need to copy, AB.

• 2. we take a point C at this stage. That will be one endpoint of the new line section, either below or above AB.

• 3. Now we place the the compass pointer on the point A of line segment  AB.

• 4. We spread the compass out until point B, making sure that its breadth corresponds to the length of AB.

• 5. We place the compass tip on the point C created in step 2 without adjusting the compass's width.

• 6. We now draw a rough arc without adjusting the compass's settings. we add a point D oh the arc . The new line segment will be formed by this.

• 7. From C, draw a line to D;CD thus formed is equal to AB.

Hence steps 5 and 6 are the steps in the construction of a new line segment which ensures the lengths are equal.
