Drag and drop the answers to the boxes to correctly complete the proof. Given: Rhombus JKMH with diagonals intersecting at point P

Rhombus J K M H with diagonals J M and H K intersecting at P

Prove: JM⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⊥HK⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯

By the definition of Response area, JK⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯≅KM⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯ and by the reflexive property of congruence, KP⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯≅KP⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯ . Because the diagonals of a rhombus bisect a pair of opposite angles, ∠JKP≅∠MKP , making △JKP≅△MKP by the Response area. Because Response area, ∠JPK≅∠MPK, and these angles are right angles because two angles that form a linear pair are congruent, thereby making JM⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⊥HK⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯ by the definition of perpendicular segments.
