State whether the given information be used to prove that two lines are parallel and also state which lines.

Given: MN¯≅MP¯; ∠NMO≅∠PMO.

Prove:MO↔is the ⊥bisector of NP¯.

Short Answer

Expert verified

MO↔ is the perpendicular bisector of NP¯.

Step by step solution

01

Step 1.  Consider the diagram. 

Here, MN¯=MP¯ and ∠NMO≅∠PMO.

02

Step 2.  Show the calculation.

Consider the ΔMNO and ΔMPO:

MN¯≅MP¯

∠NMO≅∠PMO

MO¯≅MO¯

So, by SAS Postulate, ΔMNO≅ΔMPO.

So, NO¯≅PO¯.

Hence, by Theorem 4-6, MO↔ is the perpendicular bisector of NP¯.

03

Step 3.  State the conclusion.

Therefore, MO↔ is the perpendicular bisector of NP¯ (proved).
