Why is it important to use a straightedge when copying a line segment? a) Since line segments can be any length, it is important to use a straightedge for longer line segments. A straightedge is less important when drawing short line segments though. b) Since lines must be straight, and line segments are sections of lines, a straightedge must be used to keep the line segment straight. c) Since rulers are straightedges, it is important to use them to make sure the lengths of line segments are the same. d) Using a straightedge helps you to draw the new line segment at the same angle as the original line segment.
