Question

The following is an incomplete paragraph proving that ∠WRS ≅ ∠VQT, given the information in the figure where segment UV is parallel to segment WZ.: Segments UV and WZ are parallel segments that intersect with line ST at points Q and R, respectively. According to the given information, segment UV is parallel to segment WZ, while angles SQU and VQT are vertical angles. ________ by the Vertical Angles Theorem. Because angles SQU and WRS are corresponding angles, they are congruent according to the Corresponding Angles Theorem. Finally, angle VQT is congruent to angle WRS by the Transitive Property of Equality. Which phrase accurately completes the proof?
∠SQU ≅ ∠VQT
∠SQU ≅ ∠WRS
∠WRS ≅ ∠VQT
∠WRS ≅ ∠ZRT

Answer 1

Each of the pairs of the opposite angles made by two intersecting lines are called vertical angles. The correct option is A.

What are vertical angles?

Each of the pairs of the opposite angles made by two intersecting lines are called vertical angles.

The proof can be completed as,
Given the information in the figure where segment UV is parallel to segment WZ.: Segments UV and WZ are parallel segments that intersect with line ST at points Q and R, respectively. According to the given information, segment UV is parallel to segment WZ, while ∠SQU and ∠VQT are vertical angles. ∠SQU ≅ ∠VQT by the Vertical Angles Theorem. Because ∠SQU and ∠WRS are corresponding angles, they are congruent according to the Corresponding Angles Theorem. Finally, ∠VQT is congruent to ∠WRS by the Transitive Property of Equality.

Hence, the correct option is A.
