Question

Question 11 It is given that \angle B is not congruent to \angle C in \triangle ABC. In order to prove indirectly that \overline{AB} is not congruent to \overline{AC}, we should begin the proof by assuming that: a) \overline{AB} is congruent to \overline{AC} b) \angle B is congruent to \angle C c) \overline{AB} is not congruent to \overline{AC} d) \angle B is not congruent to \angle C e) \triangle ABC is not equilateral f) None of the above

Step 1

This means that the lengths of LB and ZC are not equal. To prove indirectly that AB is not congruent to AC, we need to assume something that contradicts this statement. Option c) AB is not congruent to AC is a valid assumption because it contradicts the Show more…

It is given that LB is not congruent to ZC in triangle ABC. In order to prove indirectly that AB is not congruent to AC, we should begin the proof by assuming that: a) angle OAB is congruent to angle AC b) angle ZB is congruent to angle LC c) AB is not congruent to AC d) angle ZB is not congruent to angle LC Also, triangle ABC is not equilateral. None of the above.
