Question

Triangles a b c and f d e are shown. the length of side a b is 15 inches. the length of side f d is 11 inches. sides b c and d e are congruent. sides a c and f e are congruent. given ac ≅ fe and cb ≅ ed which statement is correct?

a. angle a is larger than angle b.
b. angle c is congruent to angle e.
c. angle c is smaller than angle e.
d. angle c is larger than angle e.

Answer 1

The correct statement is that angle A is larger than angle B.

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine which statement is correct, we need to analyze the given information about the triangles. Triangle ABC has side lengths 15 inches, AB is congruent to FE, and BC is congruent to DE. From this information, we can conclude that angle A is larger than angle B. Therefore, the correct statement is option (a) - angle A is larger than angle B.
