Question

The assumption that is a perpendicular bisector of is not enough to show that YXZ YAZ.

Answer 1

A. True
B. False

Answer 2

the assumption that (?) is a perpendicular bisector?

Answer 3

The assumption that YZ is a perpendicular bisector of AX is not enough to show that YXZ YAZ.

Answer 4

Confused, but XZ=ZA If it is a biscetor. Then the right angles are same. and the side in the middle is same by Reflexive prop. So triangles would be equal by SAS

Answer 5

So explain on how i would know the answer

Answer 6

So IF it is a Bisector you could prove the triangles equal. Correct?

Answer 7

Yes

Answer 8

So do you need proving steps to show it?

Answer 9

Yes

Answer 10

Can I assume the bottom line is equally split?

Answer 11

yes

Answer 12

Then line XZ=ZA Because it is being split into two equal lines.

Answer 13

Also, a perpendicular ALWAYS makes right angles, so there are two right angles made there.

Answer 14

Then YZ=ZY by the Reflexive Property. (AKA, YZ is the same as itself.)

Answer 15

So you can preove the two triangles congruent by the SAS: Side Angle Side

Answer 16

So, False.

You can prove it, If you are to assume the perpendicular bisector is true then you can prove the triangles equal.
