Answer» i. Co-ordinate of the point E is 9. Co-ordinate of the point D is -7. Since, 9 > -7 ∴ d(D, E) = 9 – (-7) = 9 + 7 = 16 ∴ l(DE) = 16 …(i) Co-ordinate of the point A is -3. Co-ordinate of the point B is 5. Since, 5 > -3 ∴ d(A, B) = 5 – (-3) = 5 + 3 = 8 ∴ l(AB) = 8 …(ii) ∴ l(DE) ≠ l(AB) …[From (i) and (ii)] ∴ seg DE and seg AB are not congruent. ii. Co-ordinate of the point B is 5. Co-ordinate of the point C is 2. Since, 5 > 2 ∴ d(B, C) = 5 – 2 = 3 ∴ l(BC) = 3 …(i) Co-ordinate of the point A is -3. Co-ordinate of the point D is -7. Since, -3 > -7 ∴ d(A, D) = -3 – (-7) = -3 + 7 = 4 ∴ l(AD) = 4 . ..(ii) ∴ l(BC) ≠ l(AD) … [From (i) and (ii)] ∴ seg BC and seg AD are not congruent. iii. Co-ordinate of the point E is 9. Co-ordinate of the point B is 5. Since, 9 > 5 ∴ d(B, E) = 9 – 5 = 4 ∴ l(BE) = 4 …(i) Co-ordinate of the point A is -3. Co-ordinate of the point D is -7. Since, -3 > -7 ∴ d(A, D) = -3 – (-7) = 4 ∴ l(AD) = 4 …(ii) ∴ l(BE) =l(AD) …[From (i) and (ii)] ∴ seg BE and seg AD are congruent. i.e, seg BE ≅ seg AD |
