Answer:
2 Vertical angles prove that Angle 2 is congruent to angle 5
4 The triangles are similar because alternate interior angles are congruent.
5 In the similar triangles, Angle 3 and Angle 6 are corresponding angles.
Step-by-step explanation:
The picture of the question in the attached figure
<u><em>Verify each statement</em></u>
1 Vertical angles prove that Angle 1 is congruent to angle 4.
we know that
----> by alternate interior angles
therefore
The statement is false
2 Vertical angles prove that Angle 2 is congruent to angle 5
we know that
<u><em>Vertical Angles</em></u>, are the angles opposite each other when two lines cross.
They always are equal
so
In this problem
----> by vertical angles
therefore
The statement is true
3 The triangles are similar because corresponding sides are congruent
we know that
In this problem, the corresponding angles are congruent, hence the corresponding sides must be proportional
The triangles are similar, but the corresponding sides are not congruent
therefore
The statement is false
4 The triangles are similar because alternate interior angles are congruent.
The statement is true
The triangles are similar, because the corresponding angles are congruent (one angle is congruent by vertical angles and the other two by alternate interior angles)
5 In the similar triangles, Angle 3 and Angle 6 are corresponding angles
The statement is true
In this problem
The corresponding angles are
∠3 and ∠6
∠1 and ∠4
∠2 and ∠5
6 In the similar triangles, Angle 3 and Angle 4 are corresponding angles
The statement is false
Because
The corresponding angles are
∠3 and ∠6
∠1 and ∠4
∠2 and ∠5
