How to construct a line segment?
The steps for how to construct a copy of a line segment with a compass are as follows;
- Step 1; Start with the Line segment PQ that we will copy
- Step 2; Mark a point R that will be one endpoint of the new line segment.
- Step 3; Set the compasses' point on the point P of the line segment to be copied.
- Step 4; Adjust the compasses' width to the point Q. The compasses' width is now equal to the length of the line segment PQ.
- Step 5; Without changing the compasses' width, place the compasses' point on the the point R on the line you drew in step 2.
- Step 6; Without changing the compasses' width, Draw an arc roughly where the other endpoint will be.
- Step 7; Pick a point S on the arc that will be the other endpoint of the new line segment.
- Step 8; Draw a line from R to S.
- Step 9; Done. The line segment RS is equal in length (congruent to) the line segment PQ.
