Question 886221: I have started this work and find myself stuck with the next steps. I would appreciate any tutor assistance to get me on track with the next few steps.
The scenario is as follows:
GIVEN:
Triangle LMN is isoceles with base LN
angle LMO is congruent to angle NMO
PROVE:
O is the midpoint of LN
Basically what I have as of now is this:
ML=MN
MLO=MNO
triangles congruent by SAS
Any assistance would be appreciated.
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Note that MO bisects angle LMN and is perpendicular to LN
by Pythagorean theorem we have
LO^2 +MO^2 = LM^2 = MN^2 = MO^2 + ON^2
therefore
LO^2 = ON^2 and
LO = ON
