Hi!
A line segment cannot be measured using tracing paper The
lengths of two line segments can be compared using a tracing
paper
Consider we have two line segments AB and CD

From the above figure, it can be observed that the length of
the line segment CD is greater than the length of the line segment
AB
Cheers!
