Question
point b is the midpoint of \\(\overline{ac}\\). which statements about the figure must be true? select three options. \\(\square\\) \\(\angle dbc\\) is bisected by ray bd. \\(\square\\) \\(\angle abc\\) is bisected by ray bd. \\(\square\\) \\(bc = \frac{1}{2}ac\\) \\(\square\\) \\(\overline{db} \cong \overline{bc}\\) \\(\square\\) \\(2m\angle dbc = m\angle abc\\)
Brief Explanations
- Analyze each option:
- Option 1: ∠DBC is an angle, and ray BD is one of its sides, so it can't bisect ∠DBC. Eliminate this.
- Option 2: Since ∠ABC is a straight angle (180°) and BD is perpendicular to AC (right angle), BD splits ∠ABC into two 90° angles, so it bisects ∠ABC. This is true.
- Option 3: B is the midpoint of AC, so by midpoint definition, \( BC=\frac{1}{2}AC \). This is true.
- Option 4: There's no information to suggest \( \overline{DB}\cong\overline{BC} \). Eliminate this.
- Option 5: ∠DBC is 90°, ∠ABC is 180°, so \( 2m\angle DBC = 2\times90° = 180°=m\angle ABC \). This is true.
