Question
supply the missing statements and reasons in the following two - column proof.
given: ( overline{cb}congoverline{yz} )
prove: ( overline{cy}congoverline{bz} )
- ( overline{cb}congoverline{yz} ) 1. given
- 2. definition of congruent segments
- 3. addition property of equality
- ( cb + by = cy;by + yz = bz ) 4.
- 5.
- ( overline{cy}congoverline{bz} ) 6.
Step1: Write the definition of congruent segments
$$CB = YZ$$
Step2: Add \(BY\) to both sides
$$CB + BY=YZ + BY$$
Step3: State the Segment Addition Postulate
Segment Addition Postulate
Step4: Substitute using the equations from Step 3
$$CY = BZ$$
Step5: Write the definition of congruent segments
Definition of congruent segments
