OpenStudy (zepp):

You can easily prove that by using the triangles.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

there is no answer choices

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Could you guys guide me through each step?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sure

Good... this is a tag team combo now

OpenStudy (zepp):

Ok, we need to prove that, example, the triangle PRS is congruant to the tirangle PRQ. Then you can say, the corresponding angles are equals, therefore bisects

I need to number these steps clearly with statements and reasons

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so for step 1...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

statement

OpenStudy (anonymous):

All of the angles are congruent 90 degree angles?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Reason: Given?

OpenStudy (zepp):

So let's go, two column proof; SR congruent to PQ - Definition of a square PS congruent to QR - Definition of a square PR congruant to PR - Reflexivity PSR congruent to PQR - By SSS Angle PRS congruent to PQR - Corresponding angles of two identical triangle are congruent Angle RPS congruent to PRQ - Corresponding angles of two identical triangle are congruent

OpenStudy (zepp):

And then you have to do the same thing for triangles SQR and SPQ.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So we got steps 1-6 down
