If V is the midpoint of the segment UW, then you would use the Definition of a Midpoint, which states that two congruent segments are created.

How would you prove triangles are congruent?
You could prove two triangles are congruent by measuring each side of both triangles, and all three angles of each triangle. If the lengths of the sides are the same, and so are the angles, then the triangles are congruent... if not, then the triangles are not congruent. If the triangles have the exact same size and shape then they are congruent.
Four congruent angles but not four congruent sides?
That would be a rectangle.That would be a rectangle.That would be a rectangle.That would be a rectangle.
Does a rectangle always have congruent sides?
The answer is no, if a rectangle's sides were congruent, it would be a square not a rectangle.
Can lines be congruent?
Yes the can I would look like __________ __________ Or in any other direction They would not be congruent if the touch or go different directions
What methods could you use to find the y coordinate of the midpoint of a vertical line segment with endpoints at 0 0 and 0 -12?
The method you could use would be to find the average of the y-coordinates of the end-points.Using that method, you would find it to be -6 .You could use any other method you're comfortable with, but if it led to a different answer, it would be wrong.
What else would need to be congruent to show that abc xyz by sas?
Line segment BC is congruent to Line Segment YZ
What are the segments of equal lengths called?
If two segments are of equal length, then we call them congruent segments. Congruency is used when we do not know the specific length or measure, but instead we are dealing with unknown values. In other words, if I know that segment AB=8, I cannot say that AB is congruent to 8 since 8 is a specific value. I could say that segment AB is congruent to another segment, maybe segment BC but it would be improper to say that a segment is congruent to a specific value.

How can i prove that a parallelogram is a parallelogram when you are given opposite sides are congruent?
If two opposite sides are congruent in length and direction then they are parallel sides. THat would mean the other two sides are congruent making 4 parallel sides or a parallelogram
If two line segments were both on the x-axis how would you check whether they were congruent?
How many units long each line segment is
What relationship exists between any line segment and its bisector drawn with this method?
A sensible answer would have required some information as to what "this" method was.
Describe how to locate the quarter points of a line segment?
On method would be to find the midpoint of the line segment and then to find the mid points of each of the halves.
What are necessary when proving that the diagonals of a rectangle are congruent?
A ruler or a compass would help or aternatively use Pythagoras' theorem to prove that the diagonals are of equal lengths
Does a correlation tell us anything about cause?
No a correlation method does not prove any kind of cause the only method that will prove Cause and Effect would be a Experiment Lab(hypothesis, Control group, Independent Variable ext...)
How do you prove that any 2 polygons are congruent?
Just because they look the same does not mean they are. Normally if sides are congruent they are marked by the same indicator. Which is usually a line, number, or letter. Same thing with angles, except angles would not use lines to indicate congruency. If you have any three congruent parts on triangles (the number may change due the shape) then those triangles are congruent.
Four congruent angles but not four congruent sides?
That would be a rectangle.That would be a rectangle.That would be a rectangle.That would be a rectangle.
Why is it necessary to use postulates in geometry?
Postulates are statements that prove a fact. An example would be that 2 points create a line segment. You usually use postulates in proofs.
