Question
- match the correct reasons to the proof:
given: bc is the bisector of \\( \angle a b d \\).
\\( 6 n + 1 = 4 n + 19 \\)
\\( 2 n = 18 \\)
\\( n = 9 \\)
ray bc bisects \\( \angle a b d \\)
\\( m \angle a b c = m \angle c b d \\)
choices
definition of angle bisector
given
division property of equality
subtraction property of equality
substitution property of equality
Step1: \(6n + 1=4n + 19\)
Since \(BC\) is the bisector of \(\angle ABD\), by the Definition of Angle Bisector, \(m\angle ABC=m\angle CBD\). Substituting the given angle expressions \(m\angle ABC=(6n + 1)^{\circ}\) and \(m\angle CBD=(4n + 19)^{\circ}\), we get \(6n + 1=4n + 19\) (Substitution Property of Equality).
Step2: \(2n=18\)
Subtract \(4n\) from both sides of \(6n + 1=4n + 19\). Using the Subtraction Property of Equality: \((6n-4n)+1=(4n - 4n)+19\), so \(2n+1 = 19\), then subtract \(1\) from both sides: \(2n+1-1=19 - 1\), resulting in \(2n=18\).
Step3: \(n = 9\)
Divide both sides of \(2n=18\) by \(2\). By the Division Property of Equality, \(\frac{2n}{2}=\frac{18}{2}\), so \(n = 9\).
Step4: \(ray\ BC\) bisects \(\angle ABD\)
This is given information.
Step5: \(m\angle ABC=m\angle CBD\)
By the Definition of Angle Bisector (if a ray bisects an angle, then it divides the angle into two congruent angles).
