Given: M is the midpoint of



Prove: ΔPKB is isosceles

Triangle P B K is cut by perpendicular bisector B M. Point M is the midpoint of side P K.

It is given that M is the midpoint of and . Midpoints divide a segment into two congruent segments, so . Since and perpendicular lines intersect at right angles, and are right angles. Right angles are congruent, so . The triangles share , and the reflexive property justifies that . Therefore, by the SAS congruence theorem. Thus, because _____________. Finally, ΔPKB is isosceles because it has two congruent sides.

The missing statement is corresponding parts of congruent triangles are congruent, the correct option is A.

What is an Isosceles Triangle?

An Isosceles triangle is a triangle whose two sides are equal in length, and so two angles are also equal in measure.

The proof for proving ΔPKB is isosceles is as follows

M is the midpoint of and . Midpoints divide a segment into two congruent segments,

Perpendicular lines intersect at right angles, and are right angles.

Right angles are congruent, so . The triangles share , and the reflexive property justifies that .

Therefore, by the SAS congruence theorem

Thus, because CPCTC (corresponding parts of congruent triangles are congruent)

ΔPKB is isosceles because it has two congruent sides.
