Question

are \\(\overline{jn}\\) and \\(\overline{kn}\\) congruent?
(image of a triangle with vertices j, k, n. side jk and side kn are labeled 176, side jn is labeled 152. below the triangle are two buttons: yes and no)

Explanation:

Step1: Recall congruent segment definition

Congruent segments have equal length.

Step2: Identify lengths of \( \overline{JN} \) and \( \overline{KN} \)

From the diagram, \( \overline{JN} \) length is 152, \( \overline{KN} \) length is 176.

Step3: Compare lengths

Since \( 152
eq 176 \), the segments are not congruent.

Answer:

no
