Question 388256: a tri colored flag is made out of a rectangle piece of cloth whose corners are labeled a b c d the colored regions are separated by two line segments line segment bm and line segment cm that meet at pt m is the mid point of line segment aD prove the segments that separate the regiond will always be equal

From the rectangular flag, we know that angle a and angle d are right angles. Also, segment ab must congruent to segment dc. Since m is the midpoint of ad, then segment am is congruent to segment md.Thus right triangles bam is congruent to triangle cdm by the LL-Theorem. Hence the corresponding hypotenuses bm and cm are congruent.
