In Exercises 1-6 you are given a diagram that is marked with given information. Give the reason for each key step of the proof.

Prove:AL¯≅CM¯

Key steps of proof:

a.ΔABD≅ΔCDB

b. AD¯≅CB¯;∠1≅∠2

c.ΔADL≅ΔCBM

d.AL¯≅CM¯

Short Answer

Expert verified

a.ΔABD≅ΔCDB

SAS postulate

b.AD¯≅CB¯;∠1≅∠2

Corr. parts of≅Δ are ≅.

c.ΔADL≅ΔCBM

ASA postulate

d.AL¯≅CM¯

Corr. parts of≅Δ are ≅.

Step by step solution

01

Step 1. Apply SAS postulate.

ConsiderΔABD andΔCDB in whichAB¯≅DC¯,DB¯≅DB¯ and∠CDB≅∠ABD then by SAS postulate ΔABD≅ΔCDB.

02

Step 2. Description of step.

As ΔABD≅ΔCDB, by corresponding parts of congruent triangles, AD¯≅CB¯;∠1≅∠2.

03

Step 3. Apply ASA postulate.

Consider ΔADLand ΔCBM in whichAD¯≅BC¯,∠1≅∠2 and∠DAL≅∠BCM then by ASA postulate ΔADL≅ΔCBM.

04

Step 4. Description of step.

As ΔADL≅ΔCBM, by corresponding parts of congruent triangles, AL¯≅CM¯.

05

Step 5. Give the reason for each key step of the proof.

a.ΔABD≅ΔCDB

SAS postulate

b.AD¯≅CB¯;∠1≅∠2

Corr. parts of≅Δ are ≅.

c.ΔADL≅ΔCBM

ASA postulate

d.AL¯≅CM¯

Corr. parts of≅Δare ≅.
