asked 10/18/22Proof for line segmants
What is the poof of, given: AB is congruent to DE; C is the midpoint of BD. Prove: AC is congruent to CE
1 Expert Answer
Pretty quick proof, all that is needed is the Given, Definition of Midpoint, the Segment Addition Postulate
AB is congruent to DE -> Given
C is the midpoint of BD -> Given
BC is congruent to CD -> Definition of a midpoint
AB + BC = AC
DE + CD = CE -> Segment Addition Postulate
AB + BC = AC
AB + CD = CE -> Substitution Property
AB + BC = AC
AB + BC = CE -> Substitution Property
AC = CE -> Transitive Property
