Question

Complete the following proof Given: is the midpoint of , is the midpoint of Prove: =2

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

                        Statements                                    Reasons

1). M is the midpoint of segment AB        1). Given

   B is the midpoint of segment MD      

2). AM = MB and MB = BD                        2). Definition of midpoint

3). MD = MB + BD                                      3). Segment Addition Postulate

4). MD = MB + MB                                     4). Substitution property of of Equality

5). MD = 2MB                                            5). Simplify

Therefore, if M is the midpoint of segment AB, B is the midpoint of MD then MD = 2MB
