Question

original image
a • b
completed
construction
c • n
d
which of the following statements best describes the relationship between the completed construction and the original image?
segment cd was created as a copy of ab.
segment ce was created as a copy of ab.
line n was created as the perpendicular bisector of ab.
point d was created as the midpoint of line n.

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze segment CD

Segment CD is constructed with the same length as AB (as per geometric construction principles for copying a segment).

Step2: Analyze other options

• Segment CE: There is no point E in the given construction.
• Line n: It is not a perpendicular bisector of AB (no indication of right - angle or bisecting AB).
• Point D: It is not the mid - point of line n (no such indication in the construction).

Answer:

Segment CD was created as a copy of AB.
