Statements Reasons.

1. NL bisects angles KNM and KLM. 1. Given.

2. KNL = MNL 2. Definition of angle bisector

KLN = MLN

3. NKL = NML 3. Parallelogram theorem.

4. Triangles NKL and NML are congruent. 4. AAA postulate.

The parallelogram theorem mentioned states that opposite interior angles are congruent.

The AAA postulate of congruence states that two triangles are congruent if all three interior angles are congruent correspondingly.
