Question

Which statement is an example of the symmetric property of congruence?

A. If EFG HJK, and HJK MNP, then EFG MNP.
B. If EFG HJK, then HJK MNP.
C. EFG EFG
D. If EFG HJK, then HJK EFG.

Answer 1

d

Explanation:

Answer 2

The correct answer is:


`\text{D) If }EFG \cong HJK, \text{ then } HJK \cong EFG.`

Explanation:

The symmetric property states that if two quantities are equal (or congruent), you can "flip" them around the equals sign (or congruence sign).

This means since EFG is congruent to HJK, then HJK is congruent to EFG.
