Given:

The measure of and .

Also, Three rays ML, MK, and MJ share an endpoint M. Ray MK forms a bisector as shown in the attached image and the bisector divides angle JML into two parts.

To Prove: is a right angle.

Proof:

  Statements                                                                                 Reasons

1.                                            Given

2.                                           Given

3.  

The reason for statement 3 is Angle addition postulate. As angle JML is composed of 2 angles that is angle JMK and angle KML. So by adding the measures of angles JMK and KML, we will get the measure of angle JML which is referred as Angle addition postulate.

4.   Substitution property of equality

5.                  Simplification

6. JML is a right angle.      Definition of right angle

sometimes it can be so they can fit in with a certain group, and others are just like that because of their personality.
