Q9 of 49 Page 26

In ΔPQR seg PM is a median. Angle bisectors of PMQ and PMR intersect side PQ and side PR in points X and Y respectively. Prove that XY || QR.


Complete the proof by filling in the boxes. In ΔPMQ, ray MX is bisector of PMQ.


.......... (I) theorem of angle bisector.


In ΔPMR, ray MY is bisector of PMR.


.......... (II) theorem of angle bisector.


But .......... M is the midpoint QR, hence MQ = MR.



XY || QR .......... converse of basic proportionality theorem.

.......... (I) theorem of angle bisector.


AND


.......... (II) theorem of angle bisector.
