Given a segment with endpoints A and B, what figure can you construct using the steps below?
Step 1: Draw a ray with endpoint C.
Step 2. Open the compass to the length of AB
Step 3: With the same compass setting, put the compass point on point C. Draw and arc that intersects the ray. Label the point of intersection D.

A. A perpendicular Bisector
B. A congruent segment
C. an angle bisector
D. a congruent angle,

Answer 1

The answer here is B , congruent segment. Because by opening the compass to the length of AB you are setting the radius of the circle the compass could create to the same length of AB then by intersecting with the ray C, you have copied the length of AB to ray C. For that reason, CD and AB will be congruent.
