Question

Write a two column proof. given: bd perpindicular to ac and bd bisects ac prove: abd = cbd

Answer 1

1. BD is perpendicular to AC - given

2.BD bisects AC - given

3. <BDC = 90 degrees; < BDA= 90 degrees - definition of perpendicular

4. m<BDC = m<BDA - substitution property

5. m<ABD = m<CBD - definition of a bisector

6. BD = BD - reflexive property

7. ABD = CBD - Angle-side-angle congruency theorem

hope this helps at all
