AC = AD + CD For I:

Similarly, BE = CE = 0.989 4x

CD = CE given = x(1.01)(0.99)
ACE = BCD common angle = 0.999 9x
AC = BC <x
∴ △ACE  △BCD SAS For III:
(b) ∵ AC = BC proved in (a) New value = x(1  3%)(1 + 3%)
∴ CAB = CBA base s, isos. △ = x(0.97)(1.03)
∵ △ACE  △BCD proved in (a) = 0.999 1x
∴ CAE = CBD corr. s,  △s <x
∴ CAB  CAE ∴ The results of I, II and III are smaller than the

i.e. OAB = OBA
