# Geometric Proof

## Complete the Proof

### Diagram Explanation:
The diagram consists of two sets of intersecting lines. In the first set, line \( m \) is the perpendicular bisector of segment \( \overline{AB} \) at point \( P \). In the second set, line \( n \) is the perpendicular bisector of segment \( \overline{CD} \) at point \( Q \).

### Given:
- \( \overline{AB} \cong \overline{BC} \)
- \( m \) is the perpendicular bisector of \( \overline{AB} \).
- \( n \) is the perpendicular bisector of \( \overline{CD} \).

### Prove:
- \( \overline{AP} \cong \overline{DQ} \)

### Proof Steps:
