Which of these is a correct step in constructing congruent line segments?
use a straightedge to draw two equal arcs from the endpoints
use a compass to join the endpoints of the line segment
use a straightedge to measure the length of the line segment.
use a compass to create the distance between the endpoints.

answer: use a compass to create the distance between the endpoints.

step-by-step explanation:

let xy be the given line segment .

to construct a line segment congruent to a given line segment xy we use following steps:

step 1: use a straightedge to draw ac so that it will longer than xy.

step 2: place the steel tip of the compass at x and the writing

tip at y.

step 3: use the same setting of the compass and place the

steel tip at a. draw an arc that intersects ac,then name   this intersectiong point b.

ab is now congruent to xy.

or xy≅ab

what?
