Question
Brianna wants to determine if NO is a copy of PQ. What does she need to do to show that NO is constructed copy of PQ?
a. She needs to measure the distance from point M to the N using a compass and place the compass on point M to see if point P is the same distance
b. She needs to measure the distance from point O to the Q using a compass and place the compass on point N to see if point P is the same distance
c. She needs to measure the distance from point M to the Q using a compass and place the compass on point M to see if point O is the same distance
d. She needs to measure the distance from point N to the O using a compass and place the compass on point P to see if point Q is the same distance

To determine if NO is a constructed copy of PQ, Brianna needs to ensure that the lengths of the segments are equal. The correct approach involves measuring the distance of one segment and checking if the corresponding segment is the same length.
To accomplish this, she should:
**a.** She needs to measure the distance from point M to point N using a compass and place the compass on point M to see if point P is the same distance.
This option correctly reflects the need to compare the distances between corresponding points. However, since none of the provided options perfectly matches the correct action, if the goal is to determine if NO is congruent to PQ by measuring the distance from N to O and comparing it to the distance from P to Q, none directly align with that task.
If we interpret the objective more generally as needing to confirm lengths of segments, option **d** would be a step in the right direction, as it presents a method of measuring distances between two points, though the reference points may not be entirely correct based on the standard segment naming convention.
In conclusion, the most appropriate course of action, based on the options provided, would indeed be to focus on comparing the respective segments directly, which ideally would correspond with option **d** if it had phrased the measures correctly between O and Q and N and P.
