Approach:
1. Midpoint on a line is defined as the point which divides the line into two segments of equal length.
2. According to Segment-Addition Postulate, if two points
3. According to Substitution Property of Equality, if
4. The Multiplication Property of Equality states that if both the sides of an equation is multiplied by a same number then the sides of the equation remains equal.
Calculation:
The first statement of the proof is given below.
Therefore, the first reason of the proof is given.
Now, go from first statement to the second statement.
Use Definition of Midpoint as
Therefore, the second reason is Definition of Midpoint.
Now, go from second statement to the third statement.
Use Segment-Addition Postulate as
Therefore, the third reason is Segment-Addition Postulate.
Now, go from third statement to fourth statement.
Use Substitution Property of Equality and substitute
Therefore, the fourth reason for the proof is Substitution Property of Equality
