Last updated at Sept. 2, 2019 by Teachoo

Suppose we are given line segment (AB)

We need to draw its copy

Let’s follow these steps

Draw a line l

mark point P on it

Measure line segment (AB) using compass

3. Now keeping compass opened the same length.

We keep pointed end at point P,

and draw an arc on line l

So, the required line segment is PQ
