Fill in the missing reason in the following two-column proof for the following information. Given: K is the midpoint of segment JL; KL = 14 Prove: JK = 14 StatementReason K is the midpoint of JL; KL = 14Given JK = KL? JK = 14Substitution

Respuesta :

We are given:

K is the midpoint of segment JL
KL is equal to 14

Prove: JK is also equal to 14.

K is the midpoint of segment JL             Given
KL is equal to 14                                       Given
JK = KL                                                      Definition of Midpoint
JK = KL = 14                                              Transitive property

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:  K is the midpoint of segment JL, KL = 14.

To prove: JK = 14

Proof:

Statement                                                              Reason

K is the midpoint of segment JL                              Given

KL equals to 14                                                          Given

JK = KL                                                          Definition of Midpoint

JK = KL = 14                                                    Transitive property

Thus, JK=14, Hence proved.
