Sid is constructing a triangle PQR congruent to triangle LMN. First, he constructed a segment PQ congruent to segment LM. Next, he measured the segment LN with a ruler and used the measurement to draw the segment PR.

Which statement about segment PR is true?
Answer

It is correct because it is congruent to line segment LN.

It is incorrect because it is not congruent to line segment NM.

It is correct because use of ruler gives an accurate measurement.

It is incorrect because a ruler is not used to construct congruent triangles.

paxpolaris · Answer

You would have to make sure that PR makes the correct angle with PQ:$$m \angle RPQ = m \angle LNM$$ You with either have to use the protractor before the ruler.... or just use the compass to find the point R
