Math Problem Statement

If ∠A ≅ ∠C, then which of the following conclusions is true?

Solution

The problem states that ∠A ≅ ∠C, and we are to determine which conclusion is true based on this information.

Since ∠A ≅ ∠C, this indicates that triangle ABC is isosceles with the two equal angles being at A and C. In an isosceles triangle, if two angles are congruent, the sides opposite those angles are also congruent.

Here, the side opposite ∠A is segment BC, and the side opposite ∠C is segment AB. Therefore, if ∠A ≅ ∠C, it must follow that:

AB ≅ BC.

Thus, the correct answer is:

  • AB ≅ BC.
