Math Problem Statement

draw two segments that have the same midpoint. mark your drawing to show congruent segments

Solution

To draw two segments that share the same midpoint and mark them as congruent:

  1. Draw the first segment:

    • Label the endpoints of this segment as AA and BB.
    • Mark the midpoint of this segment as MM.
  2. Draw the second segment:

    • Choose a point CC on one side of MM, and draw a line segment CDCD such that MM is also the midpoint of CDCD.
    • Make sure MM is equidistant from CC and DD.
  3. Mark the midpoint:

    • Clearly indicate that MM is the midpoint of both segments ABAB and CDCD.
  4. Mark congruence:

    • Use identical tick marks on segments AMAM and MBMB to show they are congruent.
    • Similarly, use identical tick marks on segments CMCM and MDMD to show they are congruent.

If you want, I can provide an image that demonstrates this. Would you like me to do that?
