Answer 1

not this particular one just how would i solve it

Answer 2

ef-ce < bh + ch

Answer 3

I think

Answer 4

no its EF+CF>CE and BH+CH>CB were do the numbers cum from like how do i solve it wat numbers do i use?

yeah sure.

Answer 36

there is the figure click on it and it will b larger

Answer 37

\[ EF + CF > CE \] GIVEN

\[ EF - CE > -CF \] APE

\[ -EF + CE < CF \] OR \[ CE - EF < CF \] DIVIDED BOTH SIDES BY NEGATIVE 1

\[ CB > CF \] GIVEN

\[ CB > CF > CE - EF \]

\[ CB > CE - EF \]

\[ BH + CH > CB \] GIVEN

\[ BH + CH > CB > CE - EF \]

\[ BH + CH > CE - EF \]

\[ CE = EF \]

\[ BH + CH > EF - CE \]

\[ EF - CE < BH + CH\]
