First of all, I am NOT impressed with your choice of a user name. The name you use to identifiy yourself here gives us an impression of you. Think about how you want to be perceived!

Now, did you draw a diagram and mark segments that are given equal? If you did that, this should be an easy question to answer. Please tell us your thoughts about this problem...

[stapel]

[kissmass]

[Mrspi]

Yes, (b) is the correct answer. Can you explain why?
