Question

  1. in quadrilateral klmn shown below it is given that \\(\overline{km}\\) is the perpendicular bisector of \\(\overline{ln}\\). list all conclusions you can make from this one given. give reasons for your conclusions.
  1. in the diagram shown, \\(\overline{ab}\\) and \\(\overline{cd}\\) intersect at point e.

(a) given: \\(\overline{ab}\\) and \\(\overline{cd}\\) bisect each other.
what can you conclude? why?
(b) is there a pair of angles that you can conclude are congruent based on the diagram and the fact that \\(\overline{ab}\\) and \\(\overline{cd}\\) intersect at point e? if so, which pair and why?

  1. in parallelogram abcd shown below, diagonal \\(\overline{bd}\\) has been drawn. points g and f lie on \\(\overline{bd}\\) and point e lies on \\(\overline{cd}\\).

given: \\(\overline{ge}\\) is a median drawn from point g to \\(\overline{cd}\\), \\(\overline{af}\\) is an altitude drawn from point a to \\(\overline{bd}\\), and \\(\overline{gc}\\) bisects \\(\angle bcd\\).
give all conclusions that can be immediately inferred from the givens. state a reason for each conclusion.

Explanation:

Problem 4

Step1: Analyze Perpendicular Bisector

Since \(\overline{KM}\) is the perpendicular bisector of \(\overline{LN}\), by definition, \(O\) (the intersection point) is the midpoint of \(\overline{LN}\), so \(LO = ON\). Also, \(\overline{KM}\perp\overline{LN}\), so \(\angle LOK=\angle LOM=\angle NOK=\angle NOM = 90^\circ\).

Step2: Identify Congruent Triangles

Triangles \(\triangle KLO\) and \(\triangle KNO\) are congruent (SAS: \(LO = ON\), \(\angle LOK=\angle NOK\), \(KO = KO\)). Similarly, \(\triangle MLO\) and \(\triangle MNO\) are congruent (SAS: \(LO = ON\), \(\angle LOM=\angle NOM\), \(MO = MO\)). Also, \(KL = KN\) and \(ML = MN\) (corresponding parts of congruent triangles).

Step1: Analyze Bisecting Segments

Given \(\overline{AB}\) and \(\overline{CD}\) bisect each other, so \(AE = EB\) and \(CE = ED\).

Step2: Prove Triangle Congruence

In \(\triangle AEC\) and \(\triangle BED\), \(AE = EB\), \(CE = ED\), and \(\angle AEC=\angle BED\) (vertical angles). By SAS congruence, \(\triangle AEC\cong\triangle BED\). Then, \(AC = BD\) and \(\angle A=\angle B\), \(\angle C=\angle D\) (CPCTC), so \(AC\parallel BD\) (alternate interior angles are equal). Thus, quadrilateral \(ACDB\) is a parallelogram (one pair of sides equal and parallel, or opposite sides equal).

Step1: Identify Vertical Angles

When \(\overline{AB}\) and \(\overline{CD}\) intersect at \(E\), \(\angle AEC\) and \(\angle BED\) are vertical angles, and \(\angle AED\) and \(\angle BEC\) are vertical angles.

Step2: Apply Vertical Angles Theorem

By the Vertical Angles Theorem, vertical angles are congruent. So \(\angle AEC\cong\angle BED\) and \(\angle AED\cong\angle BEC\).

Answer:

  • \(LO = ON\) (Definition of midpoint from perpendicular bisector).
  • \(\overline{KM}\perp\overline{LN}\) (Definition of perpendicular bisector).
  • \(\triangle KLO\cong\triangle KNO\), \(\triangle MLO\cong\triangle MNO\) (SAS congruence).
  • \(KL = KN\), \(ML = MN\) (CPCTC).
