A triangle has no congruent sides . The lengths of two sides of the triangle are AB and BD. Use the number line above to determine the lengths of AB and BD.

1 answer

Without knowing the lengths of AB and BD, we can still determine some relationships using the number line:

- Since the triangle has no congruent sides, AB cannot be equal to BD.
- If AB is greater than BD, this would make BD the smaller side, and vice versa.
- We can also determine the relationship between AB and BD in terms of their lengths on the number line: If AB is to the right of BD on the number line, AB is greater than BD. If AB is to the left of BD, AB is less than BD.

Therefore, we can determine the relationship between the lengths of AB and BD using the number line, but we cannot determine their exact measurements without additional information.
