To enable the completion of the proof that line l is parallel to line m, a

diagram showing the lines and their common transversal is attached.

The completed two column proof is presented as follows;

Statement ${}$ Reason

1. ∠1 and ∠2 are supplementary angles ${}$ 1. Given

2. m∠1 + m∠2 = 180° ${}$ 2. Definition of supplementary ∠s

3. ∠1 and ∠3 are supplementary angles ${}$ 3. Exterior sides in opposite rays

4. m∠1 + m∠3 = 180° ${}$ 4. Definition of supplementary ∠s

5. m∠1 + m∠2 = m∠1 + m∠3 ${}$ 5. Transitive property of equality

6. m∠2 = m∠3 ${}$ 6. Subtraction property of equality

7. l ║ m ${}$ 7. Converse of alternate interior

${}$ angles postulate

Reasons:

Reason for statement 2: Supplementary angles are defined as two angles that sum up to 180°

Reason for statement 3: Two angles are supplementary if the exterior sides that form each angle are opposite rays (rays that are drawn out infinitely in opposite direction but have the same endpoint)

Statement 4: Mathematical expression of the sum of ∠1 and ∠3; Reason for statement 4 is the definition of supplementary angles

Reason for statement 5: Transitive property of equality describes the property that if a number x = y, and z = y, then x = z.

Statement 6: Subtracting m∠1 from both sides of the equation in statement 5. gives; m∠1 + m∠2 - m∠1 = m∠1 + m∠3 - m∠1 ⇒ m∠2 = m∠3. Reason for statement 6 is the subtraction property of equality

Reason for statement 7: The converse of the alternate interior angles postulate states that if the alternate interior angles formed between two lines and a common transversal are congruent, the two lines are parallel.
