B In the figures shown, AABP-ACDE. How do you show that mAB = mCD? DO P Choose the correct answer below. O A. First show that mZAPB=mZCED by similar triangles. Then use the fact that congruent central angles intercept arcs of equal measure. OB. First show that ZAPBZCED by CPCTC. Then use the fact that congruent central angles intercept arcs of equal measure. O C. Using similar triangles, show that ZBAP ZDCE and ZABP CDE, which implies that AB CD. Then use the fact that congruent arcs have the same measure. OD. First note that AP = BP and CE = DE because all radii of a given circle are congruent. Then use the Isosceles Triangle Theorem.
