Question

are $overline{be}$ and $overline{cd}$ congruent?
diagram: rectangle with vertices c (top - left), d (top - right), e (bottom - right), b (bottom - left). side cd labeled 219 ft, de labeled 164 ft, be labeled 219 ft, bc labeled 164 ft.
options: yes, no

Explanation:

Step1: Recall congruent segments

Congruent segments have equal length.

Step2: Find lengths of \( \overline{BE} \) and \( \overline{CD} \)

From the diagram, \( \overline{BE} = 219 \) ft and \( \overline{CD} = 219 \) ft.

Step3: Compare lengths

Since \( 219 = 219 \), their lengths are equal.

Answer:

yes
