Geometry

Question Analysis:
Tests understanding of SSS construction steps.

Key Concept Explanation:
SSS construction sequence:
Copy first side exactly (AB = DE).
Use compass to copy other sides.
Find intersection point.

Step-by-Step Solution:
Must establish first side congruence.
Use compass to transfer other lengths.
Angles and altitudes irrelevant.

Option Analysis:
A) Angle copying is for SAS/ASA
C) Altitude unnecessary
D) Area doesn't help construction

Common Mistakes:
Choosing A due to familiarity with angle copying.
Selecting D from miscalculating requirements.

Summary:
Precise side copyi...
