Answer:

See Below.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that:

\angle ABC \cong \angle DEC\text{ and } \angle GFE \cong \angle DCE

By vertical angles:

\displaystyle \angle DEC\cong \angle GEF\text{ and } \angle DCE\cong \angle ACB

Hence, by substitution:

\displaystyle \angle ABC\cong \angle GEF\text{ and } \angle GFE\cong \angle ACB

Then by Angle-Angle Similarity:

\Delta ABC \sim \Delta GEF

Given segments AB and CD intersect at E.

The length of a segment is the distance between its endpoints.

  • \mathbf{AB = 3\sqrt{2}}
  • AB and CD are not congruent
  • AB does not bisect CD
  • CD does not bisect AB

<u>(a) Length of AB</u>

We have:

\mathbf{A = (1,2)}

\mathbf{B = (4,5)}

The length of AB is calculated using the following distance formula

\mathbf{AB = \sqrt{(x_1 - x_2)^2 + (y_1 - y_2)^2}}

So, we have:

\mathbf{AB = \sqrt{(1 - 4)^2 + (2 - 5)^2}}

\mathbf{AB = \sqrt{18}}

Simplify

\mathbf{AB = 3\sqrt{2}}

<u>(b) Are AB and CD congruent</u>

First, we calculate the length of CD using:

\mathbf{CD = \sqrt{(x_1 - x_2)^2 + (y_1 - y_2)^2}}

Where:

\mathbf{C = (2, 4)}

\mathbf{D = (2, 1)}

So, we have:

\mathbf{CD = \sqrt{(2 -2)^2 + (4 - 1)^2}}

\mathbf{CD = \sqrt{9}}

\mathbf{CD = 3}

By comparison

\mathbf{CD \ne AB}

Hence, AB and CD are not congruent

<u>(c) AB bisects CD or not?</u>

If AB bisects CD, then:

\mathbf{AB = \frac 12 \times CD}

The above equation is not true, because:

\mathbf{3\sqrt 2 \ne \frac 12 \times 3}

Hence, AB does not bisect CD

<u>(d) CD bisects AB or not?</u>

If CD bisects AB, then:

\mathbf{CD = \frac 12 \times AB}

The above equation is not true, because:

\mathbf{3 \ne \frac 12 \times 3\sqrt 2}

Hence, CD does not bisect AB
