Copying a Segment

Directions

Use the compass tool to copy the given segment. To do this on Geogebra, do the following:
  • Use the "point" tool to place a point somewhere on the applet
  • Use the compass tool to construct a circle with radius the length of the original circle centered at the point you just drew
  • Use the "segment" tool to construct a radius of the circle
This new segment will be the same length as the original segment, and thus congruent to the segment.
