Select the answer that has the steps in correct order to prove the following using indirect proof.

Given: AB ≠ DE and point C is a midpoint of BD
Prove: AC ≠ CE

a. AC ≠ CE
b. Assume AC = CE
c. AB = DE
d. BC = CD
e. AC − BC = CE − CD

Select the best answer from the choices provided.

A. b, e, a, c, d

B. b, c, a, d, e

C. b, d, e, c, a

D. b, a, c, d, e

The last step would be what you want to prove which is a. AC ≠ CE

The only answer that has a as the last step is C.

The answer would be: C. b, d, e, c, a

C

Step-by-step explanation:

b) Assume AC = CE

d) Since C is the MP of BD,

BC = CD

e) AC = CE,

AC - BC = CE - CD

c) AB = DE which is not true

a) Hence our assumption was

incorrect that AC = CE. Therefore,

AC ≠ CE

You wouls do 125 times 135% and that would be 168.75 then you would do 125 add 168.75 which would equal 293.75 then you would do 293.75 times 7.5% which equals 22.03 then you would do 22.03 add 293.75 and the answer would be 315.78
