Question

Complete the proofs using the most appropriate method. may require CPCTC.

Answer 1

For the first one, you did good. I will just suggest a couple things.

Statement              Reason

JK ≅ LM                   Given

<JKM ≅ < LMK        Given  (You did both of these steps so well done.)

MK ≅ MK              Reflexive Property (Your angle pair is congruent but isn't one of the interior angle of the triangles you are trying to prove.)

ΔJMK ≅ ΔLKM        SAS

Problem 2: (You also have a lot of great stuff here.)

Statement          Reason

DE ║ FG              Given

DE ≅ FG              Given

<DEF≅<FGH       Given

<EDF≅<GFH       Corresponding Angles (You don't need to know that F is the midpoint but you got corresponding angle pair which is correct.)

ΔEDF≅ΔGFH        ASA

<DFE≅<FHG       CPCTC
