OpenStudy (amistre64):

but if you were to show that bd is equal to dc, then by side-side-side it would have to be congruent

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is the answer c? @amistre64 or a?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

having ad congruent to anything other than ad is absurd

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so A?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

and having similar triangles is not proof of congruent triangles

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so is it the first choice?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I mean second*

OpenStudy (amistre64):

i cant say for sure what the "correct" option is

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the second option, is it the best choice?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

id guess the 2nd is the most reasonable ... but thats just a guesss

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay thank you @amistre64 you are the best
