Question

In the figure below, put the segments XB, XC, and XD in order from greatest measure to least measure.

Answer 1

The order from greatest measure to least measure is XD,XC,XB

Explanation:

we know that

In a right triangle the hypotenuse is the greater side

so

In the right triangle XDC

The hypotenuse is the side XD

so

XD > XC

In the right triangle XCB

The hypotenuse is the side XC

so

XC > XB

therefore

The order from greatest measure to least measure is XD,XC,XB
