Saadig constructed LBAC and an auxiliary segment where he placed point D at one end. With the help of a compass and straightedge, what next step should Saadia do to construct a copy of LBAC?

Question

(1 point)
Saadia needs to draw an are on the auxiliary segment using point D.
Saadia needs to measure the
• distance between point A and point B.
Saadiq needs to draw an arc through the sides of LBAC.
Saadiq needs to measure the distance between point B and point C.

Answer 1

To construct a copy of triangle LBAC starting from point D, the first step Saadia should take is:

Saadia needs to measure the distance between point A and point B.

This measurement will allow Saadia to establish the length of side AB in the copied triangle, which can then be replicated starting from point D.
