OR¯is a common side of two congruent quadrilaterals.

In your own words explain why each of the following statements must be true.

a. Ois the midpoint of role="math" localid="1648818703436" NM¯.

b. ∠NOR≅∠MOR.

c.RO¯⊥NM¯

Short Answer

Expert verified

Hence, it is explained in the below steps that

a.O is the midpoint of NM¯.

b. role="math" localid="1648818813775" ∠NOR≅∠MOR.

c.role="math" localid="1648818846151" RO¯⊥NM¯

Step by step solution

01

Part a. Step 1. Consider the diagram.

Here, both the quadrilaterals are congruent andOR¯ is the common side of the two congruent quadrilaterals.

02

Part a. Step 2. State the explanation.

If two quadrilaterals are congruent then the following conditions are satisfied:

1. Corresponding sides of the two quadrilaterals are congruent.

2. Corresponding angles of the two quadrilaterals are congruent.

As quadrilateral NOREis congruent to quadrilateral MORA,

NO¯≅MO¯(Corresponding sides of congruent quadrilaterals are congruent).

As the midpoint of the line segment is a point that divides it into two congruent segments, Ois the midpoint of NM¯.

03

Part a. Step 3. State the conclusion.

Therefore, O is the midpoint ofNM¯ is true.

04

Part b. Step 1. Consider the diagram.

Here, both the quadrilaterals are congruent and OR¯is the common side of the two congruent quadrilaterals.

05

Part b. Step 2. State the explanation.

If two quadrilaterals are congruent then the following conditions are satisfied:

1. Corresponding sides of the two quadrilaterals are congruent.

2. Corresponding angles of the two quadrilaterals are congruent.

As quadrilateral NOREis congruent to quadrilateral MORA,

∠NOR≅∠MOR(Corresponding angles of congruent quadrilaterals are congruent).

06

Part b. Step 3. State the conclusion

Therefore, ∠NOR≅∠MORis true.

07

Part c. Step 1. Consider the diagram.

Here, both the quadrilaterals are congruent and OR¯is the common side of the two congruent quadrilaterals.

08

Part c. Step 2. State the explanation.

From part (b),

∠NOR≅∠MOR

So,

m∠NOR=m∠MOR(Congruent angles are equal to each other).

m∠NOR+m∠MOR=180∘( ∠NOR,∠MORform a linear pair and measure of linear pair of angles is 180∘).

So,

m∠NOR+m∠MOR=180∘

Since ∠NOR=∠MOR, then,

2∠NOR=180∘∠NOR=90∘

So,

RO¯⊥NM¯ (Two lines segments are perpendicular if they form a right angle).

09

Part c. Step 3. State the conclusion.

Therefore, RO¯⊥NM¯is true.
