1. 428 pages: <em>There are a total of 428 pages</em> that you can flip to.
2. 1/428: Page 45 is <em>only one page out of the total sample space</em>.
3. 1/2: Since the last page is 428, there is an even number of pages. That means that there are<em> 214 page numbers that are even</em>. <em>214/428 = 1/2</em>.
The symmetric property of congruence states that if a quantity, say, A is congruent to a quantity, say B, then, the quantity B is congruent to the quantity A.
Mathematically, this statement of the symmetric property of congruence can be written as:
If
, then
.
Applying this symmetric property of congruence to the question that we are given, we see that only Option D fulfills the conditions of the definition of the property of congruence as Option D clearly states that:
If
, then
which is the exact statement of the symmetric property of congruence when applied to triangles.
Thus, Option D is the correct option.
