Mary is asked to prove that
is congruent to
in the
figure.
She writes the following proof:
Step 1:
is congruent to
because that
information is given in the figure.
Step 2:
is perpendicular to
because that
information is given in the figure.
Step 3:
is congruent to
by the reflexive
property.
Step 4: ADB and CDB are right angles because
perpendicular lines meet to form right angles.
Step 5: ADB is congruent to CDB because all Which of the following answer
choices is correct for Step 6?
