Question

1. choose the best answer.

a(n)____ is a statement accepted as true without proof.
options: postulate, angle, segment bisector, angle bisector

1. choose the best answer.

a line, line segment, or ray that intersects a line segment at its midpoint is called a(n) ____
options: segment bisector, angle, ruler postulate, collinear

Explanation:

Question 2

• A postulate is a statement accepted as true without proof.
• An angle is a geometric figure formed by two rays.
• A segment bisector is a line, ray, or segment that divides a segment at its midpoint (not a statement).
• An angle bisector is a ray that divides an angle into two equal parts (not a statement).

So the correct option is the one with "postulate".

• A segment bisector is defined as a line, line segment, or ray that intersects a line segment at its midpoint.
• An angle is a different geometric concept.
• The Ruler Postulate is about assigning numbers to points on a line.
• Collinear refers to points lying on the same line.

So the correct option is the one with "segment bisector".

Answer:

A. postulate
