Question

Geometry Proof - please help ASAP

Answer 1

Answer:

• If angle C is 90 degrees (def. of right angle) then the sum of angle A and B has to 90 degrees since angle A + B + C (90°) = 180°

Statements and Reasons:

3. Angle C is 90 degrees because of the definition of right angle.

4. Angle A + angle B + angle C is 180 degrees because of triangle sum.

5. Angle A + angle B + 90 = 180 because of substitution postulate.

6. Angle A + angle B is 90 degrees because of subtraction postulate. (subtract 90 from both sides from the equation above this step).

7. Angle A and angle B are complementary.
