Question

look at the diagram and evaluate. which of the statements below is false? answer de < cd df > de cd = de cf > ce

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate CD length

$CD=9 - 3=6$

Step2: Calculate DE length

$DE=13 - 9 = 4$

Step3: Analyze option A

Since $DE = 4$ and $CD=6$, $DE

Step4: Analyze option B

$DF=17 - 9=8$, since $8>4$, $DF > DE$ is true.

Step5: Analyze option C

$CD = 6$ and $DE = 4$, so $CD
eq DE$, this option is false.

Step6: Analyze option D

$CF=17 - 3=14$, $CE=13 - 3 = 10$, since $14>10$, $CF>CE$ is true.

Answer:

$CD = DE$
