Geometry question~Will Give Fan And medal!!~

Answer 1

Given ΔLMN where the length of segment NP is greater than the length of segment LP, the following is an indirect paragraph proof proving segment MP is not a median:

Assume segment MP is a median. According to the definition of a median, point P is the midpoint of side L N. By the definition of a midpoint NP = LP. This contradicts the given statement. Therefore, segment MP is not a median.

Is the indirect proof logically valid? If so, why? If not, why not?

Yes. Statements are presented in a logical order using the correct theorems.

No. The conclusion was used to contradict the assumption.

No. The progression of the statements is logically inaccurate.
