I'm sorry, but I don't understand what you mean. By the "co-interior angles" do you mean angles A and D? And DCK and DKC is the same triangle. I don't know how this can prove that CK=CD and that K is the midpt. of seg. BC.
I'm also suppose to show this as a two column proof. I was thinking that since I have to prove that CK and CD are equal, then I should first find a way to show that angles CDK and CKD are equal. That way I can prove it through the reason that "If two angles of triangle are equal in measure than the sides opp. them are equal in meas." But I don't know how to prove this. Please help. Thank you.
