Answer:

Options A, B and C.

STEP-BY-STEP EXPLANATION:

Construction steps to copy a line segment XY are:

1. Use a straightedge to draw line l and label point M.

2. Place a compass point on X and open the compass to length XY.

3. Using the same setting, place the compass at point M, draw an arc through line l, and mark point N as the intersection.

4. MN is the required segments.

Therefore, the correct steps to copy XY are in options A, B and C.

The correct statements that describe the steps to copy XY are:

C. Place a compass point at X and open the compass to length XY.

D. Using the same setting, place the compass point at M, draw an arc through line , and mark point N as the intersection.

Step-by-step explanation:

To copy XY, we can use the method of constructing congruent line segments using a compass and straightedge. Here are the steps:

1. Place the compass point at X, and open the compass to the length of XY.

- This step ensures that we have the same distance as XY.

2. With the compass still open to the length of XY, place the compass point at M.

- This step ensures that we maintain the same compass setting.

3. Draw an arc through the line.

- This arc will intersect the line at a point, which we'll label as N.

By following these steps, we can copy the length of XY onto the line and mark the intersection point as N.
