## Global Stats 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

Diagonals of rectangle are equal and bisect each other.

Statement 1-

$$EC^2=\left(\dfrac{AB}{2}\right)^2+\left(\dfrac{BC}{2}\right)^2$$

We know EC and AB; hence, we can find BC. Sufficient $$\Large{\color{green}\checkmark}$$

Statement 2-

AE +BE+AB > BE +EC+BC

AE=EC { Diagonals of rectangle are equal and bisect each other.}

AB > BC. Sufficient $$\Large{\color{green}\checkmark}$$

Therefore, D
