Question

Frankie constructed AB¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ using a compass and a straightedge. He then placed point C so that it was not on the segment he just constructed, as shown in the image. What is the next step Frankie must take to construct a copy of AB¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ using point C as one of the endpoints? (4 points) Responses use a compass, measure the distance between points A and `C`. use a compass, measure the distance between points A and `C`. use a compass, measure the distance between points B and `C`. use a compass, measure the distance between points B and `C`. use a compass, measure the distance between points A and B

Answer 1

To construct a copy of the segment $\overline{AB}$ using point $C$ as one of the endpoints, Frankie should use a compass to measure the distance between points $A$ and $B$. This distance will allow him to replicate the same length starting from point $C$. Therefore, the correct response is:

Use a compass, measure the distance between points A and B.
