Drawing a copy of given line segment - Part 2

 

  1. Measure line segment (AB) using compass

Drawing a copy of given line segment - Part 3

3. Now keeping compass opened the same length.

    We keep pointed end at point P,

    and draw an arc on line l

 

Drawing a copy of given line segment - Part 4

So, the required line segment is PQ
