Exercise 60 Page 567

Consider the AAS Congruence Theorem.

See solution.

Practice makes perfect

First, we will prove that KL ≅ QP. Note that according to the definition of a midpoint, M bisects KQ which means KM≅ MQ. Let's add this information to the diagram.

Examining the diagram, we also see a vertical angle pair at M. According to the Vertical Angles Theorem, these are congruent.

Now we can claim that △ KML≅ △ QMP by the AAS Congruence Theorem. Since KL and QP are corresponding sides, they must be congruent.

Let's show this as a flowchart.
