the following is an incorrect flow chart proving that point L, lying on LM which is a perpendicular bisector of segment JK, is equidistant from points J and K. What is the error in this flowchart?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

JL and KL are equal in length, according to the definitions of a mispoint an arrow is missing between < LNK = 90 degres and < LNJ= 90 degrees and <LNK congruent and equal to <LNJ an arrow is missing between the given statement and <LNK is equal and congruent to <LNJ Triangles JNL and KNL are congruent by the Angle Angle Side (AAS) postulate

I think that the answer is D but i would like to make sure and learn whether or not the others are right. I wanna know why. help please?

hmmm I've never done a flow chart like this before but I think you might have an arrow missing :-/ why is <LNK = <LNJ ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

whoops forgot this lol now that you mentioned it.

I was able to figure it out without the picture, but thanks but the question that would get to your answer is the same: can you tell me why is <LNK = <LNJ ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think LNK is equal to LNJ because they both appear to be right angles, so they both are 90 degree angles.

jigglypuff314 (jigglypuff314):

and right angles are equal to each other :) so you should have an arrow from angle = 90 & angle = 90 to the <LNK = <LNJ right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yea

jigglypuff314 (jigglypuff314):

then you should have your answer :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so my answer is B?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes it is i checked again haha im sorry, im really slow in the mornings XD

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thank you so very much! @jigglypuff314

jigglypuff314 (jigglypuff314):
