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

Given: MO¯⊥NP¯; NO¯≅PO¯.

Prove: MN¯≅MP¯.

Short Answer

Expert verified

It is proved NM¯≅MP¯.

Step by step solution

01

Step 1.  Consider the diagram. 

Here, MO¯⊥NP¯ and NO≅PO.

02

Step 2.  Show the calculation.

Consider the right angled ΔNQO and ΔPQO:

NO¯≅PO¯, which are hypotenuse.

QO¯≅QO¯, which are legs.

So, by HL Postulate, ΔNQO≅ΔPQO.

So, NQ¯≅PQ¯.

Consider ΔNQM and ΔPQM:

NQ¯≅PQ¯

∠NQM≅∠PQM=90°

QM¯≅QM¯

So, by SAS Postulate, ΔNQM≅ΔPQM.

So, NM¯≅MP¯

03

Step 3.  State the conclusion.

Therefore, NM¯≅MP¯ (proved).
