Proving Vertical Angles Are Congruent
1 answer:
The diagram shows that ∠2 and ∠4 are the vertical angles.
<h3>What are vertical angles?</h3>Vertical angles are the angles that are opposite of each other when two lines cross.
The statements are:
1. < 2 & < 4 are vert. angles
2. Lines M & N intersect at P
3. < 2 & < 3 are a linear pair
4. m < 2 + m < 3 = 180
5. <3 and < 4 are a linear pair
6. m < 3 + m <4 =180
7. m < 2 + m < 3 = m < 3 + m < 4
8. m < 2 = m < 4
9. < 2 =~ <4
Here are the reasons:
1. Given
2. Def of vertical angles.
3. Def if. Linear pair
4. Angle addition postulate
5. Def of a linear pair
6. Angle addition postulate
7. Substitution property
8. Subtraction property
9. Def of =~ angles.
