Answer 1

When a line segment is the perpendicular bisector of another line segment, it has certain properties. In this case, if line segment \(ED\) is a perpendicular bisector of line segment \(GF\) and they intersect at point \(P\), the following statements must be true:

1. Angle congruence: Since \(ED\) is a perpendicular bisector, it means it divides \(GF\) into two equal lengths and intersects at a right angle. Thus, we can conclude that: \[ \angle DPF \cong \angle DPG \]

2. Segment congruence: The definition of a bisector states that the point of intersection divides the segment into two equal parts: \[ GP \cong PF \]

Thus, the two correct statements from the provided options are:

1. \( \angle DPF \cong \angle DPG \)
2. \( GP \cong PF \)

These reflect the properties of perpendicular bisectors and the congruence of segments created by the bisector.
