Explain how you could use the construction tool or a compass and straightedge to create a line segment that is twice as long as A and B

So far, segment CD is the same length as AB. So we can say AB = CD.

Let's keep going

Segment CE is composed of CD and DE, both of which are equal to AB. In other words, AB = CD = DE. Because CD = DE, and the two segments add up to CE, this must mean that CE is twice as long as CD. Therefore, CE is twice as long as AB.

See the diagram below for a visual summary.

false

step-by-step explanation:

rulers and compasses arent required in order to bisect an angle because when bisecting angles, you're making a "half circle" and considering in order to bisect an angle it wouldn't be straight, you wouldn't need either of the two

c. 27 units.

step-by-step explanation:

we are told that in circle a, ∠bae ≅ ∠dae.

we can see from our given diagram that in and ;

, as these are radii of our given circle.

therefore, by sas congruence postulate.

hence, side be will be equal to side de as corresponding parts of congruent triangles are congruent. so we can set an equation to find the value of x as:

now let us substitute x=17 in the expression for the length of be.

therefore, length of be will be 27 units and option c is the correct choice.
