Question

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


Step 1. Open the compass to the width of BR and construct a congruent segment using a straightedge. Mark one end of the segment as L and the other end as V.
Step 2. Adjust the width of the compass to the length of BK and draw an arc from point L.
Step 3. Use a straight edge 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?
Step 2 i

Which statement about the steps Dev wrote for the construction of the triangle LTV is true?
Step 2 is incorrect because a ruler was not used to draw a line from point L.

Step 3 is incorrect because an arc intersecting the first arc was not drawn from point V.

All the steps are correct because the corresponding sides of the triangles have congruent lengths.

It is incomplete because one step of drawing an arc from point L to make an arc on segment LV was not included..
