Use a paragraph proof to prove: If two parallel lines are cut by a transversal, then same-side interior angles are supplementary.

Help perhaps lol @dpaInc

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I would like to learn how this is done.

OpenStudy (goformit100):

se in the figure

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok, what's tough with this one is that we don't know what theorems or postulates you already know so we could use them as reasons in your proof....

OpenStudy (goformit100):

angle 1 and angle 2 are linear pairs

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So I am to prove that the statement is true?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do you already know about vertical angles being congruent?

OpenStudy (goformit100):

say @Airman000

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes I recall some of the proof to this.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

doesn't supplementary equal to 180?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i just don't know the proof that proves this statement true, is it possible that the statement could be false?

OpenStudy (goformit100):

180 equal supplementary in some cases

OpenStudy (anonymous):

But does it when it comes to same side interior angles?

OpenStudy (goformit100):

the angle formed between two adjacent sides of a polygon and lying in its interior. The sum of the interior angles of any polygon is equal to the number of its sides minus two and multiplied by 180º.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What is that about?

OpenStudy (goformit100):

interior angles

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

thank you
