Use the image to answer the question.
Two points, upper T and upper P mark either end of a line segment slanting up from the left to the right.
Ava constructed TP¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
, as shown in the image. She then constructed RA¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
as a copy of TP¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
. If TP=189.34
millimeters, what is the measure of RA¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
?
(1 point)
The measure of RA¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
is
millimeters.
Since RA¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ is constructed as a copy of TP¯¯¯¯¯¯¯, the length of RA¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ is also 189.34 millimeters. Hence, the measure of RA¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ is 189.34 millimeters.
Since RA¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ is a copy of TP¯¯¯¯¯¯¯, we can conclude that TP¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ and RA¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ are congruent line segments. This means that they have the same length.
Given that TP¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ = 189.34 millimeters, the measure of RA¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ would also be 189.34 millimeters.
Therefore, the measure of RA¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ is 189.34 millimeters.
