The following is an incorrect flowchart proving that point L, lying on line LM which is a perpendicular bisector of segment JK, is equidistant from points J and K:

What is the error in this flowchart? JL and KL are equal in length according to the definition of a midpoint. The arrow between ΔJNL ≅ ΔKNL and segment J L is congruent to segment K L points in the wrong direction. An arrow is missing between the given statement and ∠LNK ≅ ∠LNJ. Triangles JNL and KNL are congruent by the Side-Angle Side (SAS) Theorem.

@lakotareid1232 can you pretty please help me?

@sarahhowell : The flowchart says that the triangles are cong by AAS, But If we follow the information, we see that the triangles are congruent by SAS [side-angle-side] .. So I guess that would be the wrong part!
