Cynthia is writing a proof of the theorem stated below. Theorem: The sum of interior angles of a triangle is 180°. She first drew the figure shown below. Which theorem will she most likely use in the proof? Answer Vertical angles are congruent. If two angles form a straight angle, then they are supplementary. Alternate Interior Angles formed by parallel lines and their transversal are complementary. Corresponding angles formed by parallel lines and their transversal are supplementary.
My guess would be "If two angles form a straight angle, then they are supplementary." We can see that in the bottom right of the figure she has demonstrated that angles 1+2+3 form a straight angle. As such, the case can be made that angle UQR + 3 forms a straight angle, so UQR + 3 = 180. But UQR = 1+2, so 1+2+3 = 180.
gottt itt thank-you =)
so whats the answer
