Can someone check my answer please?
-Drawing a segment above segment LN instead of marking a point M.

Sandy is constructing a triangle LMN congruent to triangle PQR constructed a segment LN congruent to side PR. She then measured side QR with a ruler and constructed a segment of the same length above and towards the right side of segment LN from point N. What error did Sandy make in this step?

Drawing the segment from point N instead of R.

 Drawing a segment with a ruler instead of an arc with the compass.

 Drawing the segment towards the left of segment LN intead of towards the right.

 Drawing a segment above segment LN instead of marking a point M

phi · Answer

Yes, you are correct.  In the game of construction, you do not use a ruler to measure lengths.
