which of the following statements must be true based on the diagram below? select all that apply. (diagram is not to scale.)
answer
\\( \overline { l n } \\) is a segment bisector.
\\( \overline { l n } \\) is a perpendicular bisector.
\\( \overline { l n } \\) is an angle bisector.
\\( n \\) is the vertex of two angles that are congruent to one another.
\\( n \\) is the vertex of a right angle.
\\( n \\) is the midpoint of a segment in the diagram.
Step1: Recall the definition of a mid - point
A mid - point of a line segment divides the line segment into two equal parts. In the diagram, since \(N\) is the mid - point of a segment (implied by the markings on the segment \(KJ\) where \(KN = NJ\)), the statement “\(N\) is the mid - point of a segment in the diagram” is True.
Step2: Analyze the other statements
- For a perpendicular bisector: There is no indication (such as a right - angle symbol) that \(\overline{LN}\) is perpendicular to \(KJ\), so “\(\overline{LN}\) is a perpendicular bisector” is False.
- For an angle bisector: There is no indication (such as congruent angle markings) that \(\overline{LN}\) bisects an angle at \(N\), so “\(\overline{LN}\) is an angle bisector” is False.
- For \(N\) being the vertex of a right - angle: There is no right - angle symbol at \(N\), so “\(N\) is the vertex of a right - angle” is False.
- For \(N\) being the vertex of two congruent angles: There is no angle - marking information to support this, so “\(N\) is the vertex of two angles that are congruent to one another” is False.
