Tag: line segment

Steps of constructing a line segment equal to the length of given segment is written in jumbled form below:
1. Draw a line $l$. Mark a point $A$ on line $l$. Without changing compass's setting, place the compass at $A$.
2. Make an arc on the line $l$ which cuts $l$ at $B$. Now, $AB$ is a copy of $CD$.
3. Draw a line segment $CD$ of any length.
4. Fix the compass's end on $C$ and pencil on $D$. This gives the length of $CD$.

Which of the above comes last.

Which of the following line segments cannot be drawn with the help of a ruler and compass ?
