Question
Is BC congruent to DC?

Transcribed Image Text:The image presents a number line with points labeled B, C, D, and E. Each point is marked by a green dot with the corresponding numbers below:
- Point B is at 31
- Point C is at 32
- Point D is at 33
- Point E is at 35
There is a question at the top of the image: "Is \( \overline{BC} \) congruent to \( \overline{DE} \)?"
There are two buttons below the number line with the options "yes" and "no" to answer the question.
Explanation of Segments:
- Segment \( \overline{BC} \) spans from 31 to 32, which has a length of 1 unit.
- Segment \( \overline{DE} \) spans from 33 to 35, which has a length of 2 units.
The task involves determining whether these two segments are congruent, meaning they have the same length.
