The correct statement :
CE=DF
Transitive Property of Equality
Further explanation
Equality means having the same value.
Usually stated with the symbol "="
It says inequality if there are symbol forms like <,>, ≤ or ≥
There are several PROPERTIES OF EQUALITY
- Addition Property of Equality If a = b, then a + c = b + c.
- Subtraction Property of Equality If a = b, then a - c = b - c.
- Multiplication Property of Equality If a = b, then a x c = b x c.
- Division Property of Equality If a = b, then a / c = b / c.
Given, AB = CE and CD = DF
Prove: AB = DF
- Step 1
CD = EF
Addition Property of Equality (we add DE on both sides)
CD + DE = DE + EF ... equation 1
- Step 2
From the lines in the picture:
CE = CD + DE
DF = DE + EF
So from equation 1:
CE = DF .... equation 2
- Step 3
From Given AB = CE, then equation 2 becomes:
AB = DF ----> Proven

1. Addition Property of Equality
2. Segment addition
3. Substitution Property of Equality.
4. Transitive Property of Equality.
Step-by-step explanation:
Here, given : CD = EF and AB = CE
To Show: AB = DF
Now, as given in the steps:
1. CD + DE = EF + DE by the (addition) Property of Equality.
As we have added the EQUAL QUANTITY on both sides of the equality.
2.CE = CD + DE and DF = EF + DE by (segment addition).
As here CE and DF are line segments. And the length of a
Line Segment = Sum of all its parts in which it is divided.
3.CE = DF by the (Addition, subtraction, substitution, transitive)Property of Equality.
Here, as we know CE = CD + DE
but CD = EF , so SUBSTITUTE EF in place of CD
⇒ CE = EF + ED = FD (by substitution) Property of Equality.
4.Given, AB = CE and CE = DF implies AB = DF by the (transitive)Property of Equality.
As, x = y , y = z ⇒ x = z is the TRANSITIVE PROPERTY
