Math Constructions questions with
complete solutions
What is the first step in copying a line segment? - correct answer ✔✔mark a new point that will be one
end of the new line
What is the second step in copying a line segment? - correct answer ✔✔place the compass point on one
end of the line and adjust the compass width to the other end of the line
What is the third step in copying a line segment? - correct answer ✔✔with out changing the width move
the compass to the new point you marked in step one and create an arc
What is the fourth and final step in copying a line segment? - correct answer ✔✔pick a point on the arc
that will be the new end point of the new line and draw a line connecting the two points
What is the first step in copying an angle? - correct answer ✔✔mark a point to be the vertex of the new
angle draw a ray from the new point (in any direction and any length)
What is the second step in copying an angle? - correct answer ✔✔set the compass on the vertex of the
original angle and set it to any width
What is the third step in copying an angle? - correct answer ✔✔draw an arc across both sides of the
angle and move it to the new vertex and do the same
What is the fourth step in copying an angle? - correct answer ✔✔set the compass to the width of the arc
inside the two rays
What is the fifth step in copying an angle? - correct answer ✔✔move the compass to the second angle
and draw an arc crossing the first
What is the sixth and final step in copying an angle? - correct answer ✔✔finally connect the new vertex
to the point made by the two arcs intersecting
