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.
s = the x-coordinate of point C. This x-coordinate is THE SAME as the x-coordinate of point D.
So, s = 8
t = the y-coordinate of point C. This y-coordinate is THE SAME as the y-coordinate of point B.
So, t = 7
So, we have:
Quantity A: 8
Quantity B: 7

A

Hi,
I was of the opinion that we shouldn't assume perpendicular and parallel lines in GRE, nor does the question mention that the figure is a rectangle. If that is the case, then I can shift point C anywhere in the first quadrant making any of the values "s" or "t" to be bigger?
Could you please revert on this.
