Question

wei constructed \\(\overline{cd}\\) as a copy of \\(\overline{ab}\\), as shown in the image. what was the last step that wei did to complete his construction? (1 point) \\(\bigcirc\\) using a straightedge, he constructed a line from point \\(a\\) to point \\(b\\). \\(\bigcirc\\) using a compass, he measured the length from point \\(c\\) to point \\(d\\). \\(\bigcirc\\) using a compass, he measured the length from point \\(a\\) to point \\(b\\). \\(\bigcirc\\) using a straightedge, he constructed a line from point \\(c\\) to point \\(d\\).

Explanation:

To copy segment \( \overline{AB} \) to \( \overline{CD} \), steps include measuring \( AB \) with a compass, marking \( D \) from \( C \), then using a straightedge to draw \( \overline{CD} \). The last step is drawing \( \overline{CD} \) with a straightedge.

Answer:

D. Using a straightedge, he constructed a line from point \( C \) to point \( D \)
