Question

part b. explain your answer using the definitions you have learned. because, r is the mid - point of. intersects at its midpoint r, so it is a. right angle, (overline{jr}congoverline{rk}), (overline{jp}), (overline{jk}), (overline{jk}congoverline{rm}), segment bisector, (overline{mp})

Explanation:

Step1: Recall mid - point definition

A mid - point divides a line segment into two congruent parts.

Step2: Identify line segment and mid - point

If $R$ is the mid - point of $\overline{JK}$, then $\overline{JR}\cong\overline{RK}$.

Step3: Recall segment bisector definition

A segment bisector intersects a segment at its mid - point.

Step4: Determine the bisector

If a line (say $\overline{MP}$) intersects $\overline{JK}$ at its mid - point $R$, then $\overline{MP}$ is a segment bisector.

Answer:

1. $\overline{JR}\cong\overline{RK}$
2. $\overline{JK}$
3. $\overline{MP}$
4. $\overline{JK}$
5. segment bisector
