Question

What segment is congruent to AC?
A. BD
B. BE
C. CE
D. none

Answer 1

You can find the segment congruent to AC by finding another segment with the same length. So first, you need to find the length of AC.

C - A = AC
0 - (-6) = AC Cancel out the double negative
0 + 6 = AC
6 = AC

Now, find another segment that also has a length of 6.

D - B = BD
2 - (-2) = BD Cancel out the double negative
2 + 2 = BD
4 = BD
4 ≠ 6

E - B = BE
4 - (-2) = BE Cancel out the double negative
4 + 2 = BE
6 = BE
6 = 6

So, the segment congruent to AC is B. BE .
