Plz help me with my geometry!!!

OpenStudy (smartanne):

I can help

OpenStudy (12g):

Theorem: The segment joining the midpoints of two sides of a triangle is parallel to the third side and half its length. A two-column proof of the theorem is shown, but the proof is incomplete.

OpenStudy (smartanne):

Whats the question

OpenStudy (smartanne):

Oh ok

OpenStudy (12g):

Statement Reason The coordinates of point D are (4, 5) and coordinates of point E are (5, 3) By the midpoint formula Length of segment DE is Square root of 5 and length of segment AC is 2 multiplied by the square root of 5 By the distance formula Segment DE is half the length of segment AC Slope of segment DE is −2 and slope of segment AC is −2 By the slope formula Segment DE is parallel to segment AC Slopes of parallel lines are equal

OpenStudy (12g):

Which of the following completes the proof? By definition of congruence Converse of corresponding angles postulate By substitution By construction

OpenStudy (12g):

OpenStudy (smartanne):

I would say the definition of congruence

OpenStudy (smartanne):

Medal if this helped :)

OpenStudy (12g):

ok thank you can you help me with one more?

OpenStudy (smartanne):

Ok...if I get a medal ;)
