Question

Celia has to construct a triangle XYZ congruent to triangle GHI. Triangle GHI and Celiafs construction so far is shown below.



Which step should Celia do next?

Adjust the width of the compass to the length of GI and draw an arc above line XY from point X.

Measure the length of GI with a ruler and draw a line of equal length from point X.

Adjust the width of the compass to the length of GH and draw an arc above line XY from point Y.

Measure the length of HI with a ruler and draw a line of equal length from point Y.

Answer 1

see rulers are not allowed in constructions. so it removes two options from your choices

Answer 2

so it must be either first or third

Answer 3

and the side corresponding to GH is XY - which is already constructed. so its not third option

Answer 4

so the first option?

Answer 5

yup.
it helps to see constructing a congruent triangle
and constructing a congruent angle

involve same steps !!
