- Given: RE = RN, BS = BN
- Since RE = RN, the sides ER and RN are congruent.
- Since BS = BN, the sides BS and BN are congruent.
- In triangle BRE, we have two sides (ER and BS) that are congruent to corresponding sides in triangle BRN.
- By the Side-Side-Side (SSS) congruence property, triangle BRE is congruent to triangle BRN.
- If two triangles are congruent, their corresponding angles are congruent as well.
- Therefore, m∠BRE = m∠BRN.
- Since m∠BRE and m∠BRN are equal, m∠BRE is not greater than m∠BRN.
Based on the given information, we cannot prove that m∠BRE is greater than m∠BRN.
