Given: m∠AEB = 45° ∠AEC is a right angle.

Prove: EB bisects ∠AEC. Fill in the blank with the accurate property.

We are given that m∠AEB = 45° and ∠AEC is a right angle. The measure of ∠AEC is 90° by the definition of a right angle. Applying the __________________ gives m∠AEB + m∠BEC = m∠AEC. Applying the substitution property gives 45° + m∠BEC = 90°. The subtraction property can be used to find m∠BEC = 45°, so ∠BEC ≅ ∠AEB because they have the same measure. Since divides ∠AEC into two congruent angles, it is the angle bisector.
