The similarities between the construction steps includes;

An initial segment is drawn with a straight edge when constructing a congruent segment and when constructing a segment bisector

A compass width maintained at a selected or required opening is used to draw arcs in both constructions

The straightedge is used to complete the drawing of the new congruent segment and the segment bisector

The differences between the construction steps includes;

The line of the initial and congruent segments may be oriented parallel vertical or as desired

The perpendicular bisector to a segment of a segment is always drawn perpendicular to the segment

The compass is used as a measurement indicator in the construction of a congruent segment but it used to draw circles with the extreme points on the segment as the center in the construction of a segment bisector

A congruent segment is a segment that has the same length as another segment

A segment bisector is a segment that intersects another segment at right angles dividing the segment into two segments of the same length

The complete question obtained from a similar question sound through search can be presented as follows;

Isaac will be constructing congruent segments with a compass and straightedge, while Micah will be constructing a segment bisector with a compass and a straightedge. Describe the similarities and differences between the constructions steps
