In the figure shown above, point E is the intersection point of the diagonals AC and BD of rectangle ABCD and the length of AB = 7.25 cm. Is AB greater than BC?


(1) EC = 5 cm

(2) The perimeter of AEB is greater than the perimeter of BEC

1) Using Pythagoras:

Let side BC be x

\((7.25)^2 + x^2 = 100\)

\( x^2 = 100 - (7.25)^2\)

From this we can workout/deduce that line AB is longer than line BC

SUFFICIENT

2)
Let each diagonal in rectangle ABCD be y

Perimeter AEB: \(AE + EB + AB\)

\(= 0.5y + 0.5y + AB\)

Perimeter BEC: \(EB + EC + BC\)

\(= 0.5y + 0.5y + BC\)

The perimeter of AEB is greater than the perimeter of BEC:

\(0.5y + 0.5y + AB > 0.5y + 0.5y + BC\)

\(AB > BC\)

SUFFICIENT
