Answer:

Circle A and circle D are congruent ⇒ 3rd answer

Explanation:

* Lets talk about the circle

- Any circle has diameter

- Any circle has radius which is half the diameter in length

- All the circles are similar because the measure of all circles is 360°

and there is the ratio between the radii

- The two circles are congruent if they have the same radii because

the congruence is special case of similarity when the ratio equal 1

* Lets look to the figure to solve the problem

- There are four circles in the figure

# Circle A with radius 3"

# Circle B with radius 4"

# Circle C with radius 5"

# Circle D with radius 3"

∵ The radius of circle A = 3"

∵ The radius of circle D = 3"

∴ The radii of circle A and circle D are congruent

∴ Circle A and circle D are congruent
