A congruent line segmeny

Answer:

The figure represents the construction of a :

a congruent line segment.

Step-by-step explanation:

The steps for the construction of a congruent line segment is given by:

1.   Draw a line AB on the piece of paper.

2.  Take a measurement on a compass more than halfway AB and keep the needle of the compass on A and draw an arc above and below AB.

3. Next put the needle of the compass on B and draw the arc that intersects the previous arcs.

4.  Name the intersected point above AB as C and below AB as D.

5.   Connect the point C to Point D.

6. The lien segment meets AB at some point let it denote by E.

7.  Hence, we get line segment AE is congruent to line segment EB.
