A) Quantity A is greater.
B) Quantity B is greater.
C) The two quantities are equal.
D) The relationship cannot be determined from the information given.
IMPORTANT: In the given diagram, the only "fixed" information is the fact that we have two equal angles of 45°
Notice that we can extend the left side to be longer than the other side, and still retain our two equal angles of 45°
In this case, x > y
Conversely, we can extend the right side to be longer than the other side, and still retain our two equal angles of 45°
In this case, y > x
Answer: D

Brent
