hoblos · Answer

yeah it's c ... you measure the length of the segment and draw the other with the same length

Straightedges do NOT have markings on them like rulers do. So how can you measure anything with a straightedge?

hoblos · Answer

ah really! i though they mean a ruler by 'Straightedges' !! sorry my english is not that good ! :$

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

you would actually use a compass to measure any and all distances

ganeshie8 · Answer

even if it has markings, you are "not supposed to directly measure" in euclid's constructions

anonymous · Answer

so is not c?

ganeshie8 · Answer

you can strike off all options that have measure in them

hoblos · Answer

no it's not.. sorry! 
as @jim_thompson5910 said..  it's d
