Start with a line segment that you will copy
Mark a point that will be one endpoint of the new line
segment
Set the compasses' point on the point of the line
segment to be copied
Adjust the compasses' width so it is now equal to the
length of the line segment
Without changing the compasses' width, place the
compasses' point on the the point you drew in step 2
Without changing the compasses' width, Draw an arc
roughly where the other endpoint will be.
Pick a point on the arc that will be the other endpoint of
the new line segment
Draw a line from the point to the arc
