Given: ∠1≅∠5
Prove:
Fill-in the missing reasons by moving the correct answer to the empty boxes.
Statements Reason 1.∠1≅∠5
- Given 2.∠2≅∠5
- Vertical Angles Theorem 3.∠1≅∠2
4.∠1≅∠4 4. 5.∠2≅∠4 5. Transitive Property of Equality
Solution
Let's fill in the missing reasons:
Statements | Reason |
---|
- ∠1≅∠5 | 1. Given
- ∠2≅∠5 | 2. Vertical Angles Theorem
- ∠1≅∠2 | 3. Transitive Property of Equality (since ∠1≅∠5 and ∠2≅∠5, we have ∠1≅∠2)
- ∠1≅∠4 | 4. Vertical Angles Theorem (since ∠1 and ∠4 are vertical angles)
- ∠2≅∠4 | 5. Transitive Property of Equality (since ∠1≅∠2 and ∠1≅∠4, we have ∠2≅∠4)
This completes the proof.
