Question
Is DE congruent to EF?

Transcribed Image Text:The question presented is: "Is \(\overline{DE}\) congruent to \(\overline{EF}\)?"
The diagram is a number line with points marked at intervals. The relevant points are labeled as \(D\), \(E\), and \(F\):
- Point \(D\) is marked at 300.
- Point \(E\) is marked at 400.
- Point \(F\) is marked at 800.
The options to answer the question are:
- yes
- no
To determine if \(\overline{DE}\) is congruent to \(\overline{EF}\), we calculate the distance between the points:
- \(\overline{DE} = 400 - 300 = 100\)
- \(\overline{EF} = 800 - 400 = 400\)
Based on this, \(\overline{DE}\) is not congruent to \(\overline{EF}\).
