Write proofs in the form specified by your teacher (two-column form, paragraph) form, or a list of key steps).

Given: ΔRST≅ΔXYZ; SK¯bisects ∠RST;YL¯bisect∠XYZ

Prove:SK¯≅YL¯

Short Answer

Expert verified

Statements

Reason

ΔRST≅ΔXYZ

Given

∠RST≅∠XYZ,ST¯≅YZ¯ and∠T≅∠Z

Corr. Parts of≅Δare ≅.

SK¯bisects∠RST andYL¯ bisects∠XYZ

Given

∠TSK≅∠ZYL

Angle bisector

ΔSKT≅ΔYLZ

ASA postulate

SK¯≅YL¯

Corr. Parts of≅Δ are ≅.

Step by step solution

01

Step 1. Description of step.

As it is given thatΔRST≅ΔXYZ then by corresponding parts of congruent triangles, ∠RST≅∠XYZ,ST¯≅YZ¯ and ∠T≅∠Z.

02

Step 2. Description of step.

AsSK¯ bisects∠RST andYL¯ bisects∠XYZ then,∠RST=2∠TSK and ∠XYZ=2∠ZYL. Since,∠RST≅∠XYZ implies ∠TSK≅∠ZYL.

03

Step 3. Description of step.

ConsiderΔSKT and ΔYLZ, in which ST¯≅YZ¯,∠T≅∠Z and∠TSK≅∠ZYL then by ASA postulate, ΔSKT≅ΔYLZ.

04

Step 4. Description of step.

AsΔSKT≅ΔYLZ, by corresponding parts of congruent triangles, SK¯≅YL¯.

05

Step 5. Two-column proof.

Write a two-column proof of the above explanation.
