Question

question 2 points 2
the following figure represents the construction of ______.
a ------ b
c ------|d
options: congruent lines, congruent segments, congruent rays, congruent angles

Explanation:

To determine the construction, we analyze the figure:

• A segment \( AB \) and a construction on line \( CD \) (with a mark at \( D \)) suggests creating a segment congruent to \( AB \) on \( CD \).
• Congruent segments have the same length. The figure shows constructing a segment (like marking \( CD \) to match \( AB \)'s length), not lines (infinite), rays (one endpoint, infinite), or angles. So the construction is of congruent segments.

Answer:

B. congruent segments (assuming the option order: first is congruent lines, second congruent segments, etc. If the second option is "congruent segments", then the answer is the option with "congruent segments" text. Based on the options, the correct one is the second option: "congruent segments".)
