  1. in the diagram shown, $overline{cd}$ and $overline{ab}$ intersect at point $e$.

(a) what can you conclude about the angle pair $angle aed$ and $angle bed$? why?
(b) what can you conclude about the angle pair $angle aed$ and $angle bec$? why?

Explanation:

Problem 1
(a)

Step1: Recall angle bisector definition

An angle bisector divides an angle into two equal angles. So if \(\overline{TV}\) bisects \(\angle STU\), then \(\angle STV=\angle UTV\).

Step2: State conclusion and reason

Conclusion: \(\angle STV = \angle UTV\)
Reason: Definition of angle bisector (a bisector of an angle divides it into two congruent angles).

Step1: Recall perpendicular lines definition

Perpendicular lines form right angles (angles of \(90^\circ\)). So if \(\overline{SU}\perp\overline{TV}\), then \(\angle SRV=\angle SRU=\angle URV=\angle URT = 90^\circ\) (or relevant right angles at \(R\)).

Step2: State conclusion and reason

Conclusion: \(\angle SRV = 90^\circ\) (or other right angles at \(R\))
Reason: Definition of perpendicular lines (perpendicular lines intersect at right angles).

Step1: Recall midpoint definition

A midpoint of a segment divides it into two equal segments. So if \(R\) is the midpoint of \(\overline{SU}\), then \(SR = RU\).

Step2: State conclusion and reason

Conclusion: \(SR = RU\)
Reason: Definition of midpoint (a midpoint divides a segment into two congruent segments).

Answer:

\(\angle STV = \angle UTV\) (Reason: Definition of angle bisector)
