Given:
AB is perpendicular to AC
DC is perpendicular to AC
DB bisects AC at point E
Statement: Reason:
1.AB is perpendicular to AC 1.Given
DC is perpendicular to AC
DB bisects AC
2.m∠CAB = 90˚ 2.Def. of Perpendicular Lines
and m∠ACD = 90˚
3.AE≅EC 3.Def. of Bisector
4.angle DEC≅BEA 4.Vertical Angle Theorem
5.ΔDEC≅ΔBEA 5.ASA
Which figure correctly displays this proof?

choice A is out because AB is not perpendicular to AC
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
choice C is also out because DC is not perpendicular to AC
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
choice B is out because angle DEC is not a vertical angle to angle BEA
