Question

Help for a medal and fan or 2 medals???

Answer 1

The figure below shows rectangle ABCD:

Answer 2

The following two-column proof with missing statement proves that the diagonals of the rectangle bisect each other:

Statement Reason
ABCD is a rectangle. Given
Line segment AB and Line segment CD are parallel Definition of a Parallelogram
Line segment AD and Line segment BC are parallel Definition of a Parallelogram
∠CAD ≅ ∠ACB Alternate interior angles theorem
Definition of a Parallelogram
∠ADB ≅ ∠CBD Alternate interior angles theorem
ΔADE ≅ ΔCBE Angle-Side-Angle (ASA) Postulate
Line segment BE is congruent to line segment DE CPCTC
Line segment AE is congruent to line segment CE CPCTC
Line segment AC bisects Line segment BD Definition of a bisector



Which statement can be used to fill in the blank space?

Line segment AB is congruent to line segment CD

Line segment BE is congruent to line segment AE

Line segment BE is congruent to line segment CE

Line segment BC is congruent to line segment AD

Answer 3

If that is confusing to read, heres a screenshot of it.

Answer 4

@SolomonZelman Could you please help?

Answer 5

what is your opinion about this ?

Answer 6

What do you mean? All I can really say is that I don't understand this AT ALL and I've been stuck on this question for about 2 hours now

Answer 7

ok i will try explain it to you -

- so than you read the text of this exercise what wan you prove ? that the diagonals of a rectangle bisect each other - yes ?

Answer 8

so from these 4 statements what are there to select two from these 4 what can be used to fill in the blank space - try select from these 4 just these two what are in contact with diagonals - i not can explain it to you with other words - sorry

Answer 9

so check the first is in contact with diagonals or not - how you see it ?

Answer 10

I'm not sure, sorry.

Answer 11

not is sure

so the second is in contact with diagonals ?

Answer 12

yes because BE and AE are diagonals halfed - yes ?

Answer 13

So the second one is the answer?

Answer 14

not just because you need getting two statement from these 4 - yes ?

Answer 15

Yeah

Answer 16

So how do I get the answer then?

Answer 17

so how you see the 3rd is in contact with diagonals or not is ?

Answer 18

No?

Answer 19

why no ? what are BE and CE ? not diagonals halfed same with second ?

Answer 20

I'm not really sure. I don't understand this question at all.

Answer 21

ok

check the 4th choice how you see it these BC and AD are in contact with diagonals ? not are because these are sides of rectangle

so what will be these two statements ? second and 3rd - ok.?

Answer 22

Ooooh okay. I think I understand now. Thanks for the help. I'll give you a fan and a medal, thanks!
