Question

Frankie constructed line segment `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 line segment AB using point C as one of the endpoints?
answers
use a compass, measure the distance between points A and B.
use a compass, measure the distance between points A and C.
use a compass, measure the distance between points B and C.
please choose the correct answer.

Answer 1

To construct a copy of line segment \( AB \) using point \( C \) as one of the endpoints, Frankie should use a compass to measure the distance between points \( A \) and \( B \).

So the correct answer is: **use a compass, measure the distance between points A and B.**
