Given that:
[tex]BC=XY[/tex][tex]AB+BC\ne YZ+XY[/tex]According to the Segment Addition if B lies between A and C, then:
[tex]AB+BC=AC[/tex]In this case, knowing that:
[tex]AB+BC\ne YZ+XY[/tex]And knowing that B lies between A and C, and Y lies between X and Z:
[tex]\begin{gathered} AB+BC=AC \\ YX+XY=XZ \end{gathered}[/tex]Therefore, you can determine that:
[tex]AC\ne XZ[/tex]Hence, the answers are:
- First blank: Third option (Segment addition).
- Second blank: Second option (AC does not equal XZ).
