IF BCDE
is congruent to OPQR
, then PQ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
is congruent to ________________
BC¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯.
If BCDE is congruent to OPQR, then it means that the two figures have the same shape and size. In other words, they are geometrically identical.
To determine which line segment PQ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ is congruent to, we need to identify the corresponding line segment in the second figure.
In this case, BCDE corresponds to OPQR. Therefore, the line segment PQ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ in the second figure corresponds to the line segment DE¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ in the first figure.
Thus, we can say that PQ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ is congruent to DE¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯.
If BCDE is congruent to OPQR, then it means that BC is congruent to OP, CD is congruent to PQ, DE is congruent to QR.
Therefore, PQ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ is congruent to CD.
