Question

The steps below describe the construction of a line AG which is parallel to segment PQ and passes through a point A outside of PQ.

In the next step the width of the compass is adjusted to DE. Which statement is true?

Answer 1

A.) Point G is obtained by using the same compass width and drawing an arc from point E, intersecting the arc drawn from A.

B.) Point G is obtained by using the same compass width and drawing and arc from point B, intersecting the arc drawn from A.

C.) Point G is obtained by using the same compass width and drawing and arc from point D, intersecting the arc drawn from A.

D.) Point G is obtained by using the same compass width and drawing and arc from point F, intersecting the arc drawn from point A.

Answer 7

does it say how point F was found?

Answer 8

@jim_thompson5910 no

Answer 9

Well usually the distance from B to E should be the same as from A to F, as they show in this animation

Answer 10

ok

Answer 11

if that is true, then you would keep the compass width of DE and focus it on point F to go from this
