Use the image to answer the question.

Two horizontal line segments appear one above the other. Points upper A upper B mark the top segment. Points upper C upper D mark the segment on the bottom. An arc passes through point upper D.

Answer 1

Based on the provided information about Wei constructing the segment \( \overline{CD} \) as a copy of \( \overline{AB} \), the last step he would have taken is related to measuring the length of \( \overline{AB} \) and replicating it on \( \overline{CD} \).

The most likely last step is:

Using a compass, he measured the length from point A to point B.

This indicates that he used the compass to obtain the length of the segment \( \overline{AB} \) and then transferred that length to create the segment \( \overline{CD} \).
