B) TX= 1/2 XU
C) TX parallel XU
D) TX congruent to XU

Answer 5

@AbdullahM I don't know, that's everything they gave me

Answer 6

Hint:

Parallel means that the sides never meet each other. But you can see that they are adjacent, and there is no way XU and TX are parallel.

Congruent means the same thing as equal to.

X is a midpoint of TU

Is TX = XU??
