Question

Measure ab and create another segment CD. Measure CD to verify that it has the same lengrh

Answer 1

To measure and duplicate the length of segment AB as segment CD, use an appropriate measuring tool like a ruler or measuring tape. Measure segment AB, then use the same length to mark and verify the length of segment CD. Finally, confirm measurements are identical by double-checking.

Step-by-step explanation:

To measure segment AB and create another segment CD of the same length, follow these steps:

1. Use a metric measuring tape or a ruler, depending on the size of segment AB. If AB is shorter than 30 cm, a ruler is sufficient.
2. Align the zero end of the measuring tool with one end of AB, and note the length at the other end of AB.
3. Mark a point for C on a surface where segment CD will be drawn.
4. Using the same measuring tool, measure the same length from point C and mark point D at this measured length.
5. Draw segment CD connecting points C and D.
6. Verify that both segments are the same length by measuring segment CD and ensuring it matches the length of segment AB.

When selecting a unit of measurement, consider the size of the object. For small measurements a ruler is appropriate, while longer distances might require a yardstick or measuring tape.

To confirm the correctness of your measurements, always double-check and ensure consistency in your measuring units.
