Question

Read the steps Dev wrote to construct the triangle LTV which is congruent to triangle BKR.

Answer 1

1. Use a ruler to measure side BR and construct a congruent segment. Mark one end of the segment as L and the other end as V.
2. Adjust the width of the compass to the length of BK and draw an arc from point L.
3. Use a straightedge to draw a line segment from point V to any point on the arc. Mark the point of intersection of the line and the arc as point T.

Which statement about the steps Dev wrote for the construction of the triangle LTV is true?

A. Step 2 is incorrect because a ruler was not used to draw a line from point L.
B. Step 3 is incorrect because an arc intersecting the first arc was not drawn from point V.
C. All the steps are correct because the corresponding sides of the triangles have congruent lengths.
D. It is incomplete because one step of drawing an arc from point L to make an arc on segment LV was not included

Answer 2

and another word problem, these things are gonna be the death of me.... lol

Answer 3

I was thinking C, I don't really see anything wrong

Answer 4

any ideas? I don't really notice anything wrong... what do u think?

Answer 5

anybody?

Answer 6

lets see

Answer 7

thats the given triangle BKR

we need to construct a congruent triangle LTV, right ?

Answer 8

lets repeat what Dev did

Answer 9

okay

Answer 10

1. Use a ruler to measure side BR and construct a congruent segment. Mark one end of the segment as L and the other end as V.
