Question

3.

Use the given information to draw a diagram and then prove the statement.
GIVEN: NO =PQ, M is the midpoint of NO. M is the midpoint of PQ.
PROVE: NM = PM

Pls help I don’t understand this

Answer 1

Explanation:

NO and PQ are congruent segments (have the same length), and both have the same midpoint M.

NO ≅ PQ, given.

NM ≅ ½ NO, definition of midpoint.

PM ≅ ½ PQ, definition of midpoint.

PM ≅ ½ NO, substitution.

PM ≅ NM, substitution.
