C is the midpoint of line segment AB. Show that AC= 1/2 AB and CB = 1/2 AB. Supply steps and reasons for this problem.

Use the addition postulate to show that AC + CB = AB

Use the definition of midpoint to show AC = CB

Use Transitive Equality to say AC + AC = AB

Then 2AC = AB, which is to say AC = AB/2

Then use Transitive Equality to say CB + CB = AB, and so on...
