Question

A conjecture and a portion of the flowchart proof used to prove the conjecture are shown.



Which statement best represents the information that should be in the box labeled 1?

AB=BC

BC¯¯¯¯¯≅CA¯¯¯¯¯

AB¯¯¯¯¯≅CA¯¯¯¯¯

AB=CA

Answer 1

Given that AB is similar to BC.

By the segment congruence postulate, AB = BC

Therefore, the statement that best represents the information that should be in the box labeled 1 is AB = BC.
