Step-by-step explanation:
1) AM=BM ( M is midpoint of AB)
CM=DM (given)
angle AMC = angle BMD (V.O.A)
THEREFORE, AMC congruent BMD ( SAS)
2) since, AMC congruent BMD (proved)
therefore, angle MAC = angle MBD (cpct)
THESE ARE ALTERNATE ANGLES
THEREFORE, DB||AC.
Then, angle DBC + angle ACB =180 ( CO-INTERIOR)
angle DBC + 90= 180 ( ABC is right angled at C)
Therefore, angle DBC = 180-90=90.
proved, angle DBC is a right angle.
3) DB=AC (cpct from i)
BC = CB (common)
angle DBC = angle ACB ( =90)
Therefore, DBC congruent ACB ( SAS)
4) Since, DBC congruent ACB (proved)
Therefore DC=AB (cpct)
NOW, 1/2 DC = 1/2 AB
= CM=1/2 AB ( because CM is 1/2 DC)
THAT'S THE ANSWER OF YOUR QUESTION.
