The options are;

1) AB is bisected by CD

2) CD is bisected by AB

3) AE = 1/2 AB

4) EF = 1/2 ED

5) FD= EB

6) CE + EF = FD

Answer:

Options 1, 3 & 6 are correct

Explanation:

We are told that Point E is the midpoint of AB. Thus, any line that passes through point E will bisect AB into two equal parts.

The only line passing through point E is line CD.

Thus, we can say that line AB is bisected by pine CD. - - - (1)

Also, since E is midpoint of Line AB, it means that;

AE = EB

Thus, AE = EB = ½AB - - - (2)

Also, we are told that F is the mid-point of CD.

Thus;

CF = FD

Point E lies between C and F.

Thus;

CE + EF = CF

Since CF =FD

Thus;

CE + EF = FD - - - (3)
