Mathematics
1 answer:
astraxan [27]3 years ago

Answer:

An angle bisector is a line passing through the vertex of the angle that cuts the angle into two equal smaller angles.

Given: MN is angle bisector,

then  

\angle JMN \cong \angle NMK            .......  [1]

Congruent angles are  two or more angles that have the same measure.

then;

by definition of congruent angles

[1]⇒ m\angle JMN = m\angle NMK                ......[2]

By the  Angle addition postulates states that if M is in the interior of ∠JMK then,

m\angle JMN+m\angle NMK =m\angle JMK            ......[3]

Now, by substitution property ; substitute the equation [2] in [3] we get;

m\angle JMN+m\angle JMN =m\angle JMK                 ......[4]

Like terms terms whose variables  are the same

Combine like terms in equation [4] we get

2 \cdot m\angle JMN=m\angle JMK                      ......[5]

Division property of equality states that you divide the same number to both sides of an equation.

Divide by 2 to both sides in equation [5] , we get

m\angle JMN= \frac{1}{2} m\angle JMK
