Construct Congruent Segments
Follow these steps for congruent segment constructions:
1) Using the SEGMENT TOOL, make a segment CD of any length
2) Using the COMPASS TOOL, create a circle with radius AB and center point C
3) Using the POINT TOOL, mark the intersection of circle C and segment CD
REMEMBER: Congruent circles have the same radius. The compass tool measures and preserves the radius. Therefore, the compass tool can be used to draw congruent segments.
