About This Diagram

This reference diagram shows all five steps of copying a segment construction in a single view. Hover over each panel to highlight and examine the steps.

The Five Steps

Panel	Step	Action
1	Given	Segment AB and point C
2	Step 1	Draw ray from C
3	Step 2	Set compass radius to AB
4	Step 3	Draw arc from C
5	Result	CD ≅ AB (congruent segments)

How to Use
