Question

On your paper, draw two segments roughly like those shown. Use these segments in Exercise $1-4$ to construct a segment having the indicated length. $a+b$

Short answer

Draw $a+b=$line-segment $a+$ line-segment $b$.

Step-by-step solution

Step 1. Given information.

Two-line segments of lengths $a$ and $b$are given.

Step 2. Measure the length of a and b and add it.

Addition of both lengths is,

$a+b$

Step 3. Draw the line.

Now, draw $a+b$

Therefore, $a+b=$line-segment $a$$+$ line-segment $b$.
