Concept explainers
To describe: whether the given condition is deduced from the given information or not
and to give the name of the postulate used.
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
The given figure is as follows:
The line segment
Concept used:
- The bisector is a line that divides the angle in to two equal
angles .
- ASA postulate:
When two angles and included side of one triangle are congruent to two angles and the included side of the other triangle, then the
From the definition of angle bisector,
As the two angles and included side of triangle RXY are congruent to the two angles and included side of the triangle SXY, so, using ASA postulate,
Hence, the given condition is deduced from ASA postulate.
