Please help me, short proof problem Use a paragraph proof to prove the same-side interior angles theorem. Given: Segment A B is parallel to segment C D. Prove: Same-side interior angles are supplementary.

Well, they would both add up to 180 degrees.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yeah but for some reason I'm totally stuck on the proof. This is what I've got so far, I just dont know how to elaborate and do even the next step: Segment AB is parallel to segment CD.

OpenStudy (istim):

Erll, you can see that the those angles add up to 360, which is a circle.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Hmm, so could it be like this: Segment AB is parallel to segment CD. <1 and <2 equal 180 degrees, and <5 and <6 equal 180 degrees when added. Therefore, same-side interior angles are supplementary.
