Directrix (directrix):

If two sides of one triangle are congruent to two sides of another triangle and the included angle of the first is greater than the included angle of the second, then the third side of the first triangle is greater than the third side of the second triangle.

Directrix (directrix):

That is the theorem you need. Now, sort through the options.

Directrix (directrix):

@RH Talk to me.

Directrix (directrix):

We are looking for false statements among the options.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Directrix Sorry my computer is working so slow that the page was blocked

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok I will read what you wrote

Directrix (directrix):

C is the one correct answer.

Directrix (directrix):

B is correct. It is confusing. One of the four answer is WRONG. It is the CORRECT answer to the question. :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yeah that is why I got confused :( I am sorry! Thank you a lot :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So B is the correct answer right?

Directrix (directrix):

YC = AC is true. It is marked on the diagram.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

YC = AC is false right? thats the question

Directrix (directrix):

From the theorem, we know XC < BC is true.

Directrix (directrix):

One of the four options says the opposite about XC and BC. It is the WRONG answer we want as answer to this question.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So D would be the correct answer to the wrong question?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I am so confused:(

Directrix (directrix):

Wow, my computer froze and I could not find this problem once I got back here. > Best Response 0So D would be the correct answer to the wrong question? Yes. Click on D. I don't like to be so literal but this question is confusing. The wrong answer is the right answer. :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes that is what happened to my computer too! It froze and I could not open the website :( ok thank you so much it is so confusing when questions are like this! thanks a lot :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Directrix Can I ask one more question? If you don't mind, it has to do with this problem

Directrix (directrix):

What is the question?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Which theorem applies to the problem ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A. Converse of the Hinge Theorem B. Hinge Theorem C. Triangle Inequality Theorem D. Exterior Angle Inequality Theorem

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@MotherOfGod

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hinge theorem

Thank you! :)
