Question

How can one assist in completing the task of copying PQ to the line with an endpoint at R in the provided drawing?

A: Utilize the "Undo" feature after copying PQ
B: Create an arc intersecting the line to form a segment with length PQ
C: Increase the line thickness for better visibility
D: Change the color of the drawn arc

Answer 1

To copy PQ to the line with an endpoint at R, you can create an arc intersecting the line at two points and then draw a segment with the same length as PQ from R to the point where the measured length lies on the arc.

Step-by-step explanation:

To copy PQ to the line with an endpoint at R, you can use the method of creating an arc intersecting the line to form a segment with the same length as PQ. Here's how:

1. With R as the center, draw an arc that intersects the line at two points.
2. Using a compass, measure the length of PQ on the arc from one of the intersection points.
3. Draw a segment from R to the point where the measured length lies on the arc.

This method ensures that the segment from R has the same length as PQ.
