Point M is drawn as the midpoint of BC.
Which of the following could be used as part of the proof that B2C? Select three that apply.
AB AC because of the definition of an isosceles triangle
BAC because corresponding parts of congruent triangles are congruent.
AABM 4 AACM because of the SAS triangle congruence criterion
BMCM because of the definition of a midpoint
AM A AM because of the Symmetric Property

Answer 1

A. AB = AC because of the definition of an isosceles triangle

B. ∠B = ∠C because corresponding parts of congruent triangles are congruent.

D. BM = CM because of the definition of a midpoint

Explanation:

A. An isosceles triangle is a triangle with two equal sides, hence:

AB = AC because of the definition of an isosceles triangle. option A is correct.

D. Since Point M is drawn as the midpoint of BC, hence:

BM = CM because of the definition of a midpoint. Option D is correct.

E. Reflexive property of congruence states that an angle, line segment, or shape is always congruent to itself. hence AM ≈ AM because of reflexive property.

AM ≈ AM because of the Symmetric Property is wrong. Option E is wrong.

C) The side - side - side (SSS) triangle congruence theorem states that if all the sides of two triangles are equal, then they are congruent triangles.

Since BM = CM, AM = AM and AB = AC, hence ΔABM = ΔACM because of the SSS triangle congruence criterion

ΔABM = ΔACM because of the SAS triangle congruence criterion is wrong. Option C is wrong.

D. Corresponding parts of congruent triangles are congruent. hence:

∠B = ∠C because corresponding parts of congruent triangles are congruent. Option B is correct
