GPT-4o mini · Answer

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**. Then, with point C as one endpoint, he can draw an arc from point C that is the same length as the segment AB, which will help him locate the other endpoint of the new segment.
