E C B is on side A C of triangle A C D. Point D of triangle A C D is on side C E of triangle E C D. Line segments B C and C D are congruent. Line segments B F and F D are congruent. Line segments A F and F E are congruent. Which relationships in the diagram are true? Select three options. △ACF ≅ △ECF by HL ΔCBF ≅ ΔCDF by SSS ΔBFA ≅ ΔDFE by SAS ΔCFD ≅ ΔEFD by SSS ΔCBE ≅ ΔCDA by HL

Answer:
1) ΔCBF ≅ ΔCDF by (SSS)
2) ΔBFA ≅ ΔDFE by (SAS)
3) ΔCBE ≅ ΔCDA by (HL)
Step-by-step explanation:
1) Since BC ≅ DC and DF ≅ BF where CF ≅ CF (reflective property) we have;
ΔCBF ≅ ΔCDF by Side Side Side (SSS) rule of congruency
2) Since DF ≅ BF and FA ≅ FE where ∠DFE = ∠BFA (alternate angles)
Therefore;
ΔBFA ≅ ΔDFE by Side Angle Side (SAS) rule of congruency
3) Since FA ≅ FE and DF ≅ BF then where EB = FE + BF and AD = FA + DF
Where:
EB and AD are the hypotenuse sides of ΔCBE and ΔCDA respectively
We have that;
EB = AD from FE + BF = FA + DF
Where we also have BC ≅ DC
Where:
BC and DC are the legs of ΔCBE and ΔCDA respectively
Then we have the following relation;
ΔCBE ≅ ΔCDA by Hypotenuse Leg (HL).

Complete Question:
On a number line, the coordinates of X, Y, Z, and W are −8, −5, 4, and 6, respectively. Find the lengths of the two segments below. Then tell whether they are congruent. and
Answer:
They are not congruent
Step-by-step explanation:
Length of segment XY:
Coordinate of X = -8
Coordinate of Y = -5
= |-8 -(-5)| = |-8 + 5| = 3
Length of ZW:
Coordinate of Z = 4
Coordinate of W = 6
= |4 - 6| = 2
≠
, therefore, they are not congruent.
