A segment is created from points A and B. To copy segment AB, which of the following needs to be identified for the construction
? The distance between point A and a point not on the segment The midpoint of points A and B The midpoint between point B and a point not on the segment The distance between points A and B
To copy a segment AB, the first thing is to identify the length of the segment which is the distance between points A and B. It is this distance that will be used to create a new segment at a given point not on the segment.
Midpoints have nothing to do with copying a segment.
