Studdy Solution

STEP 1

1. ABCDABCD is a parallelogram.
2. Diagonals ACAC and BDBD intersect at point MM.
3. We need to prove that segment AMAM is congruent to segment CMCM.

STEP 2

1. Recall properties of a parallelogram.
2. Use the property of diagonals in a parallelogram.
3. Conclude the proof.

STEP 3

Recall properties of a parallelogram:
- Opposite sides are parallel and equal in length. - Diagonals bisect each other.

STEP 4

Use the property of diagonals in a parallelogram:
Since ABCDABCD is a parallelogram, its diagonals ACAC and BDBD bisect each other at point MM. This means:
AM=MC AM = MC BM=MD BM = MD

STEP 5

Conclude the proof:
Since AM=MCAM = MC, segment AMAM is congruent to segment CMCM.
The proof is complete, and we have shown that segment AMAM is congruent to segment CMCM.
