Задание 10

Statement: $PX = PX$

Reason: Reflexive Property

Explanation:

Steps 8 and 9 state that $WX = YX$, which seems redundant but could be to confuse you. Since $\overline{PX}$ is a perpendicular bisector of $\overline{WY}$, we know that $X$ is the midpoint of $\overline{WY}$, and $\overline{PX}$ is perpendicular to $\overline{WY}$. We want to prove that $WP = YP$.

  • Since $\overline{PX}$ is perpendicular to $\overline{WY}$, $\angle P X W$ and $\angle P X Y$ are right angles.
  • All right angles are congruent to each other.
  • $WX = YX$ by the definition of a perpendicular bisector.
  • $PX = PX$ by the Reflexive Property.
  • Therefore, $\triangle P X W \cong \triangle P X Y$ by the SAS Congruence Property.
  • Finally, $WP = YP$ by CPCTC.

So, the missing step is $PX = PX$ and the reason is the Reflexive Property.

Final Answer:

Statement: $PX = PX$

Reason: Reflexive Property
