Answer:

Explanation:

Alberto is correct in reasoning that all lines and rays are congruent to each other but incorrect in his reasoning about the line segments.

Line segments are equal in measure only when they are equal in length. They can have any orientation on a plane.

Since, AB = 3 units

CD = 4 units

Therefore, AB ≠ CD

Error in AB ≅ CD
