In the triangles, Line segment B C is-congruent-to line segment D E and Line segment A C is-congruent-to line segment F E. Trian
gles 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. If m Angle C is greater than m Angle E, then Line segment A B is ________ Line segment D F. Congruent to longer than shorter than the same length as
The lengths of sides A C and F E are congruent. The lengths of sides B C and D E are congruent. Therefore:
AC = FE, BC = DE
Also m∠C is greater than m∠E
∠C is the angle opposite to line AB and ∠E is the angle opposite to line DF. Since AC = FE, BC = DE and m∠C is greater than m∠E. The length of a side of a shape is proportional to its opposite angle, since the opposite angle of AB is greater than the opposite angle of DF therefore AB is greater than DF
