If X is congruent with L, p is congruent with M. A is congruent with K, PA is congruent with Mo, and Zac is congruent with KL and XP is congruent with LM which option correct congruence statement
The correct congruence statement would be:
Zac is congruent with PA.
Based on the given information, we have the following congruence statements:
1. X ≅ L
2. P ≅ M
3. A ≅ K
4. PA ≅ MO
5. Zac ≅ KL
6. XP ≅ LM
Using this information, we need to find the correct congruence statement. Let's compare the given statements.
Comparing statement 1 (X ≅ L) with statement 6 (XP ≅ LM), we see that both include X and L. This suggests that we could combine these statements to form a new congruence statement.
Using the transitive property of congruence (which states that if a = b and b = c, then a = c), we can combine statements 1 and 6 as follows:
X ≅ L
XP ≅ LM
Applying the transitive property, we can conclude that X ≅ L ≅ XP ≅ LM. Therefore, the correct congruence statement is:
X ≅ L ≅ XP ≅ LM
To determine the correct congruence statement based on the given information, we need to analyze the congruences and match the corresponding parts.
Given:
- X ≅ L
- p ≅ M
- A ≅ K
- PA ≅ Mo
- Zac ≅ KL
- XP ≅ LM
From the given information, we can see that:
- X and L are congruent, so we can write X ≅ L.
- p and M are congruent, so we can write p ≅ M.
- A and K are congruent, so we can write A ≅ K.
- PA and Mo are congruent, so we can write PA ≅ Mo.
- Zac and KL are congruent, so we can write Zac ≅ KL.
- XP and LM are congruent, so we can write XP ≅ LM.
Based on the above congruences, we can combine them to form a congruence statement. Let's see the options:
Option 1: XP ≅ MK
- This option does not follow from the given congruences because there is no given information that connects X to M or p to K.
Option 2: Zac ≅ PA
- This option does not follow from the given congruences because Zac is congruent to KL, not PA.
Option 3: Zac ≅ ML
- This option does not follow from the given congruences because Zac is congruent to KL, not ML.
Option 4: KL ≅ XP
- This option follows from the given congruences because Zac ≅ KL and XP ≅ LM. Therefore, Zac ≅ KL ≅ XP ≅ LM, so the correct congruence statement is KL ≅ XP.
Thus, the correct congruence statement is KL ≅ XP, which corresponds to Option 4.
