Option A:
- AP is congruent to BQ (Given)
- AP is perpendicular to AB, BQ is perpendicular to AB (Given)
- m
- Triangle OAP is congruent to Triangle OBQ (CPCTC)
- AO is congruent to BO, PO is congruent to OQ (CPCTC)
- AO is congruent to BO, PO is congruent to OQ (Def. of congruence)
- O is the midpoint of AB and PQ (Def of midpoint)
Option B:
- AP is congruent to BQ (Given)
- AP is perpendicular to AB, BQ is perpendicular to AB (Given)
- m
- Triangle OAP is congruent to Triangle OBQ (AAS Steps 4,5, 1)
- AO is congruent to OP, BO is congruent to OQ (CPCTC)
- AO = OP, BO =OQ (Def. of congruence)
- O is the midpoint of AB and PQ
Option C:
- AP is congruent to BQ (Given)
- AP is perpendicular to AB, BQ is perpendicular to AB (Given)
- m
- AO is congruent to OB (Supp
- Triangle AOP is congruent to BOQ (SAS Steps 1, 5, 4)
- AO is congruent to OP, BO is congruent to OQ (CPCTC)
- AO=OP, BO =OQ (Def of congruence)
- O is the midpoint of AB and PQ (Def of midpoint)
- AO is congruent to OB (Supp
