Answer:
Adjust the compasses' width to the point Q. The compasses' width is now equal to the length of the line segment PQ.
Step-by-step explanation:
Start with a line segment PQ that we will copy. Mark a point R that will be one endpoint of the new line segment. Set the compasses' point on the point P of the line segment to be copied. Adjust the compasses' width to the point Q. The compasses' width is now equal to the length of the line segment PQ.
Two line segments are said to be congruent if they have the same length. They need not be parallel to each other.
- Congruent line segments can be constructed by using a compass and a straightedge.
- When two line segments exactly measure the same, they are known as congruent lines.
- For example, two line segments XY and AB have a length of 8 inches and are hence known as congruent lines.
