Question

Assume the segment AB¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ has already been constructed. What is the first step to construct the segment VW¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ ? (1 point) Responses Draw a ray and label the endpoint A or B. Draw a ray and label the endpoint A or B. Plot two points A and B​ (one an​ endpoint) and draw a ray through them. Plot two points A and B​ (one an​ endpoint) and draw a ray through them. Draw a ray and label the endpoint V or W. Draw a ray and label the endpoint V or W. Plot two points V and W​ (one an​ endpoint) and draw a ray through them.

To construct the segment VW after having already constructed the segment AB, the first step would be to **draw a ray and label the endpoint V or W.** This step initiates the process of constructing the new segment by establishing one of its endpoints.

The second step in the construction of segment \( VW \) would be to **open the compass to the length of segment \( AB \)**. This allows you to measure the distance you need for segment \( VW \) based on a reference segment already constructed.
