A. is the answer.
the 2 triangls have AD = AC
and AB as a common side. therefore the triangls are congruent.
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.

Answer:
It decreased by 40%
Step-by-step explanation:
Percent change = 42 - 70
|70|
x 100 = -28
70
x 100 = -40
