Select the correct answer. A line t runs upward to the right through two parallel horizontal lines r and s, forming 8 angles num
bered from 1 to 8. Given: Transversal t passes through parallel lines r and s. Prove: ∠3 ≅ ∠6 ∠4 ≅ ∠5 Statement Reason 1. r || s given 2. ∠3 ≅ ∠7 ∠4 ≅ ∠8 For parallel lines cut by a transversal, corresponding angles are congruent.
3. What is the next step in the proof? Choose the most logical approach.
A. Statement: ∠1 ≅ ∠8 and ∠2 ≅ ∠7 Reason: Congruent Supplements Theorem
B. Statement: m∠3 + m∠4 = 180° and m∠7 + m∠8 = 180° Reason: Linear Pair Theorem
C. Statement: m∠3 + m∠5 = 180° and m∠4 + m∠6 = 180° Reason: definition of supplementary angles
D. Statement: ∠7 ≅ ∠6 and ∠8 ≅ ∠5 Reason: Vertical Angles Theorem Reset Next
