Copy a line segment - Congruent Segment Construction
Follow these steps for congruent segment constructions (4 below will have all 3 steps!):
1) Using the LINE TOOL, make a segment CD of any length, but longer than AB.
Select the LINE TOOL, the click anywhere to mark C, then click anywhere to mark D
2) Using the COMPASS TOOL, create a circle with radius AB and center point C.
Select the COMPASS TOOL, then click on A, then click on B, then click on C
3) Using the POINT TOOL, mark the intersection of circle C and segment CD as F.
Select the POINT TOOL, then carefully click where the two intersect, F should appear as a black point, not
purple
