1) From the data, we can see that
is given.
2) Next,
since they are alternate angles.
3) By substitution, these means that
4) Finally, a || b since
this is because, angle 7 and angle 8 are corresponding angles.
Corresponding angles are angles that are on the same corner at each intersection. For instance, 2 and 6
4 and 8, 1 and 5, 3 and 7
In our case, 7 and 8 are corresponding angles
Answer:
We have been given that PQ bisects . In the second statement of the given two-column proof, the statement is .
This implies that the two angles formed by bisection of angle by the line PQ are equal. We know that the reason for this is simple. It is the definition of bisection of an angle that the two smaller angles formed will be equal to each other.
Therefore, the reason for statement 2 of the given two column proof is c) Definition of bisect
Step-by-step explanation:
