Question

In the triangles, Line segment A C is-congruent-to line segment F E and Line segment B C is-congruent-to line segment D E. Triangles A B C and F D E are shown. The lengths of sides A C and F E are congruent. The lengths of sides B C and D E are congruent. Angle B C A is 72 degrees. Angle D E F is 65 degrees. Which statement correctly compares Line segment A B and Line segment F D? Line segment A B and Line segment F D are the same length. Line segment A B is longer than Line segment F D. Line segment A B is shorter than Line segment F D. Line segment A B is shorter than or the same length as Line segment F D.

Answer 1

c

Explanation:

Answer 2

Line segment A B is longer than Line segment F D. This is the correct statement from the given statements.

Explanation:

Given:

In ΔABC and ΔFDE

Segment AC≅Segment FE

Segment BC≅Segment DE

∠BCA = 72° and ∠DEF = 65°

Now by the property of a Triangle we know that

Side opposite to the greater angle is longer than the side opposite to the smaller angle.

So, Side opposite to the greater angle (∠BCA = 72°) is AB and

The side opposite to the smaller angle (∠DEF = 65°) is FD.

Therefore, side AB is Longer than side FD.
