What would be the missing step in this proof?

sammixboo (sammixboo):

What do you think it is

OpenStudy (anonymous):

B?

sammixboo (sammixboo):

An angle bisector is a ray, or a line, that divides an angle in half, and that line is EO B is already proof, so B is not the answer

OpenStudy (here_to_help15):

When sammi is around you gotta give aa full detailed explanation :P

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oops, didn't see it was used. A?

sammixboo (sammixboo):

So what ever pattern that has 'EO' or 'OE' in there is your answer. We already know that it isn't B, because that is already proof, and there is no angle bisector in the pattern. Does A have the EO or OE pattern?

sammixboo (sammixboo):

In the pattern in choice A does it have EO or OE in it?

sammixboo (sammixboo):

In that specific order

OpenStudy (nikato):

Wait, apex is right when he/she said B

sammixboo (sammixboo):

This is hard to explain

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Nope

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

not sure what you meant by "B is already proof, so B is not the answer"

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

Here is angle DEF |dw:1415677667831:dw|

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

segment EO cuts it in half perfectly |dw:1415677688945:dw|

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

which means that the two smaller pieces that are created are congruent to one another |dw:1415677716649:dw|

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So it is B, right?

OpenStudy (nikato):

Yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Alright, thank you all :)

sammixboo (sammixboo):

Sorry about that

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Its fine :)

sammixboo (sammixboo):

I got myself confused when explaining
