• midsegment

• angle bisector

Given: m∠LAN = 30⁰ , m∠1 = 15⁰
Prove: AM bisects ∠LAN
Step 1: m∠LAN = 30⁰ 
Step 2: m∠1 + m∠2 = m∠LAN
Step 3: m∠1 + m∠2 = 30⁰
Step 4: m∠1 = 15⁰
Step 5: 15⁰ + m∠2 = 30⁰
Step 6: m∠2 = 15⁰
Step 7: m∠1 = m∠2
Step 8: ∠1 ≅ ∠2
Step 9: AM bisects ∠LAN
What is the justification for Step 9?

• Symmetric property of congruence

• Definition of angle bisector

• Addition property of equality

• Definition of congruent angles

What is the missing statement in the proof?

• 2m∠ABD = m∠ABD + m∠ABD

• m∠ABD = m∠DBC

• m∠ABC = m∠ABC

• m∠ABD +m∠ABD = m∠ABD + m∠DBC

• x

What is the missing statement in the proof?

• 2m∠ABD=m∠ABD+m∠ABD

• m∠ABD=m∠DBC

• m∠ABC=m∠ABC

• m∠ABD+m∠ABD=m∠ABD+m∠DBC
