To determine the last step that Wei did to complete his construction, we need to focus on what is typically involved in copying a line segment using a straightedge and compass.

  1. Copying a Segment: The process involves measuring the length of the original segment (AB) and then replicating that length onto a new segment (CD).
  2. Using a Compass: The first step would usually be measuring the length of segment AB using a compass.
  3. Drawing the New Segment: The final step would involve using a straightedge to create the line segment CD by connecting points C and D.

Given the options, the last step that Wei would have done to complete his construction of segment CD as a copy of AB is:

Using a straightedge, he constructed a line from point C to point D.
