Transcript text: FEG-31. The following diagrams are missing some key markings.
a. H] is an angle bisector. Please complete the diagram to reflect that. What conclusion can you make?
b. $\overline{H J}$ is a perpendicular bisector. Please complete the diagram to reflect that.
Solution
Solution Steps
Step 1: Mark the congruent angles
Since $\overline{HJ}$ is an angle bisector of $\angle FHG$, it divides $\angle FHG$ into two congruent angles. Mark $\angle FHJ$ and $\angle GHJ$ with the same angle arc.
Step 2: State the conclusion
The conclusion is that $\angle FHJ \cong \angle GHJ$.
Step 3: Mark the congruent segments and right angle
Since $\overline{HJ}$ is a perpendicular bisector of $\overline{FG}$, it divides $\overline{FG}$ into two congruent segments and forms a right angle with $\overline{FG}$. Mark $\overline{FJ}$ and $\overline{JG}$ with the same hash mark to denote congruence. Mark the angle formed by the intersection of $\overline{HJ}$ and $\overline{FG}$ with a right angle symbol.
Final Answer:
a. $\angle FHJ \cong \angle GHJ$
b. $\overline{FJ} \cong \overline{JG}$ and $\overline{HJ} \perp \overline{FG}$
