Question

When copying a segment and bisecting a segment, which step is the same?.

Answer 1

Answer:

Mark the intersection points of the arcs.

Answer 2

When copying a line segment and bisecting a line segment the step that is the same is placing the needle of the compass on one end of the line segment.

Further Explanation;

A line segment

• It is a defined term in geometry.
• It is defined as a piece of line that has two endpoints.

Copying a line segment

This involves drawing a line segment that is equal in length with the one that is given.

Steps.

Assuming we want to copy a line segment AB to another similar segment PQ.

Step 1: Draw a line of a fixed length and lets name it AB.

Step 2: Mark a point outside of the line AB and lets name it P

Step 3: Place the needle of the compass on one end of the line AB.

Step 4: Adjust the width of the compass to the other end of the line segment.

Step 5: Without changing the width of the compass, put the needle of the compass on point P.

Step 6: Draw an arc near to the end of new line.

Step 7: Put a point Q on the arc that will be the end point of the new line.

Step 8: Connect the points P and Q.

Bisecting a line segment

Bisecting a line segment involves diving a line segment into two equal parts.

Steps:

Step 1: Place the compass at one end of line segment.

Step 2: Adjust the compass to slightly longer than half the line segment length .

Step 3: Place the needle of the compass on one end of the line segment.

Step 4: Draw arcs above and below the line.

Step 5: Keeping the same compass width, draw arcs from other end of line.

Step 6: Place ruler where the arcs cross, and draw the line segment.
