Question

geometry basics geometry basics unit test thuy examines the figure in the image. she needs to determine if $overline{no}$ is a copy of $overline{pq}$. what must she do to show that $overline{no}$ is a constructed copy of $overline{pq}$? (1 point) she must measure the distance from point n to point o using a compass and place the compass on point p to see if point q is the same distance she must measure the distance from point m to point q using a compass and place the compass on point m to see if point o is the same distance she must measure the distance from point m to point n using a compass and place the compass on point p to see if point m is the same distance she must measure the distance from point o to point q using a compass and place the compass on point p to see if point n is the same distance

Explanation:

To show two line - segments are copies of each other (congruent), we need to check if their lengths are equal. A compass can be used to measure the length of a line - segment. We measure the length of one line - segment with the compass and then try to replicate that length starting from one end - point of the other line - segment. In this case, to check if $\overline{NO}$ is a copy of $\overline{PQ}$, we measure the length of $\overline{NO}$ with a compass and then place the compass on point $P$ to see if point $Q$ is at the same distance.

Answer:

She must measure the distance from point $N$ to point $O$ using a compass and place the compass on point $P$ to see if point $Q$ is the same distance.
