As an answer to a test, monica sees the figure below and determines that ir is parallel to ae. monica’s teacher counted it as incorrect. determine the error in monica’s reasoning.

there are no marks indicating that IR is parallel to AE

Point 'I' hasn't been shown to be the mid point of AN.

Step-by-step explanation:

For IR to be parallel to side AE in the figure, the point I and R should be the mid points of lines AN and NE respectively, but only R has been shown to be the mid point of line NE by adding those two dashes on lines NR and RE, which means that NR and RE are equal, hence R should be the mid point of NE, whereas, Monica doesn't show that I is the mid point of AN in the same way that she has shown for R by adding dashes, hence it is an error in her reasoning that point 'I' hasn't been shown to be the mid point of AN.
