Line Segment Construction

The video tutorial explains the difference between a construction and a drawing in geometry. It highlights that a construction is an accurate representation using tools like a compass and a straight edge, while a drawing is a freehand sketch. The tutorial details the tools needed for construction and provides a step-by-step guide to constructing congruent line segments. An example is given to demonstrate the process of constructing a congruent line segment Rs, ensuring the length matches the original segment MN.
