ATM RMT by SAS because ATM
RMT by alt. int. are ; AMT
RTM by CPCTC.
13. Yes; ABD CBD by SSS so A C by CPCTC.
14. a. Given
b. Given
c. Reflexive Prop. of
d. AAS s
PKL QKL by def. of bisect, and KL KL by Reflexive Prop. of , so the are by SAS.
16. KL KL by Reflexive Prop. of ; PL LQ by Def. of bis.; KLP
KLQ by Def. of ; the
are by SAS.
KLP KLQ because all rt are ; KL KL by Reflexive Prop. of ; and PKL
QKL by def. of bisect; the are by ASA.
18. The are by SAS so the distance across the sinkhole is 26.5 yd by CPCTC.

ABX ACX by SSS, so BAX
CAX by CPCTC.
Thus AX bisects
BAC by the def. of
bisector.
21. Prove ABE CDF by SAS since AE
FC by subtr.
22. Prove KJM QPM by ASA since P J and K Q by alt. int. are .
23. e or b, e or b, d, c, f, a s
24. BA BC is given; BD BD by the Reflexive Prop. of and since BD bisects ABC, ABD CBD by def. of an bisector; thus, ABD CBD by SAS; AD DC by CPCTC so BD bisects AC by def. of a bis.; ADB CDB by CPCTC and ADB and CDB are suppl.; thus, ADB and CDB are right and BD AC by def. of .
25. a. AP PB; AC BC
b. The diagram is constructed in such a way that the are by SSS. CPA CPB by CPCTC. Since these are and suppl., they are right . Thus, CP is to . s
