Point E is the midpoint of Line segment A B and point F is the midpoint of Line segment C D . 3 intersecting lines are shown. A line has points C, E, F, D. Another line has points A, E, and B and intersects the other line at point E. Another line goes from point A to point F. Which statements about the figure must be true? Select three options. Line segment A B is bisected by Line segment C D . Line segment C D is bisected by Line segment A B . AE = One-halfAB EF = One-halfED CE + EF = FD

Respuesta :

Answer:

A, C, and E are correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

B is incorrect because a line that passes through point F would be the bisect, not line segment AB

D is incorrect because it just is.

The correct three options are -

  • Line segment AB is bisected by Line segment CD.
  • [tex]AE = \frac{1}{2} AB[/tex].
  • [tex]CE + EF = FD[/tex]

What is Midpoint?

The midpoint of a line segment is a point situated on a line segment at which the line segment is divided into two equal lengths.

What is a Bisector?

The bisector is a line segment which cuts another line segment into two parts of equal length.

Here in the problem, we have -

E is the midpoint of Line segment AB and point F is the midpoint of Line segment CD.

A line has points C, E, F, and D.

Another line has points A, E, and B.

A line goes from point A to point F.

So from the figure we can see that Line segment CD intersects Line segment AB at point E and E is the midpoint of AB. So clearly CD bisects AB.

So option (a) is correct.

F is the midpoint of CD but AB intersects CD at E which is situated left of F then AB does not bisect the line segment CD.

So option (b) is incorrect.

As E is the midpoint of AB so it divides the line into equal two parts.

[tex]AE = EB = \frac{1}{2}AB[/tex]

So option (c) is correct.

F is the midpoint of CD.

So, [tex]CF = FD = \frac{1}{2} CD[/tex]

Hence, EF is not one-half ED as we don't know about the midpoint of ED.

Thus, option (d) is incorrect.

From the figure, we can see that,

[tex]CE + EF = CF[/tex]

and F is the midpoint of CD

[tex]CF = FD\\CE + EF = FD[/tex]

Hence option (e) is correct.
