Prove:

Fill-in the missing reasons by moving the correct answer to the empty boxes.

Statements Reason 1.∠1≅∠5

  1. Given 2.∠2≅∠5
  2. 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:

StatementsReason
  1. ∠1≅∠5 | 1. Given
  2. ∠2≅∠5 | 2. Vertical Angles Theorem
  3. ∠1≅∠2 | 3. Transitive Property of Equality (since ∠1≅∠5 and ∠2≅∠5, we have ∠1≅∠2)
  4. ∠1≅∠4 | 4. Vertical Angles Theorem (since ∠1 and ∠4 are vertical angles)
  5. ∠2≅∠4 | 5. Transitive Property of Equality (since ∠1≅∠2 and ∠1≅∠4, we have ∠2≅∠4)

This completes the proof.
