She must use both the statements which includes either bisection of line segments only or bisection of angles only.

Step-by-step explanation:

Julie is not able to prove the law of syllogism by her statements because to prove the law of syllogism she must use both the statements which includes either bisection of line segments only or bisection of angles only.

Instead of doing this she uses one statement that includes the bisection of line segment and another statement that includes the bisection of angles.
