Answer: The second step ensures that the new line segment has the same length as the original segment.

Explanation:

The steps to copy a line segment:

1. Move the compass center to point P.

2. Adjust the radius of the compass to the length of the original line segment (PQ).

3. Move the compass center to R.

4. Draw an arc that intersects the line to the right of R.

Answer:

In geometry, a line segment is a part of a line that is bounded by two distinct end points, and contains every point on the line between its endpoints. A closed line segment includes both endpoints, while an open line segment excludes both endpoints; a half-open line segment includes exactly one of the endpoints.

Step-by-step explanation: HOPE THIS HELPS I'M SORRY IF I DIDN'T.
