Ruth has to construct a triangle TUV congruent to triangle QRS. Triangle QRS and Ruthfs construction so far is shown below.

A triangle RQS is drawn. Two points T and V are made and an arc is drawn at V. An arc is made above points T and V from point V.

Which step should Ruth do next?

Draw an arc from point T to intersect the arc above TV using the length of QR as the width of the compass.

Draw a line segment equal to the length of segment RS using a ruler so that the segment touches any point in the arc.

Draw an arc from point V to intersect the arc above TV using the length of

Ruth has an arc from V to indicate the length of RS. Now Ruth needs an arc from T to indicate the length of QR. The intersection of the two arcs will be point U.
