Question

What conclusion can be made for c and e?

Triangle ABC has side AB measuring 2 and a half units, side BC measuring 4 units, and angle ACB measuring e degrees. Triangle ABC is connected to triangle ACD by shared side AC. Triangle ACD has side AD measuring 2 and 8 tenths units and angle ACD measuring c degrees. Segments BC, AC and DC are marked congruent.

A. c > e
B. c < e
C. c ≥ e
D. c ≤ e

Answer 1

Answer: D

Explanation: Based on the information provided, we can conclude that the angles in triangle ABC and triangle ACD are congruent (angle ACB and angle ACD). Additionally, segments BC, AC, and DC are marked congruent.

Since the angles in triangle ABC and triangle ACD are congruent, we can conclude that c = e.

Therefore, the correct conclusion is D. c ≤ e.
