उत्तर
The co-ordinates of points B and C are 5 and 2 respectively.
We know that 5 > 2
∴ l(BC) = 5 − 2
∴ l(BC) = 3
The co-ordinates of points A and D are −3 and −7 respectively.
We know that −3 > −7
∴ l(AD) = − 3 − (−7)
∴ l(AD) = − 3 + 7
∴ l(AD) = 4
∴ l(BC) ≠ l(AD)
∴ seg BC and seg AD are not congruent.
