geometryyy does this proof makes sense?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You're like... not quite there. The goal to prove these are parallel is to show that same-side interior angles are supplementary.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how do i do that?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Once you have shown that same-side interior angles are supplementary, you can appeal to the converse of the same-side interior angles postulate to say that the lines are parallel.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so do i have them in disorder or my reasons are just wrong?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Your first few steps are right. After you've shown that 2+5=180, notice that 2=3, and state why that is so.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so after 2+5=180 i should put 2=3 vertical angle theorem?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Cool. Now it's your turn. What does that let us say next?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

3+5=180?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

And why can you say that?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

because they are supplementary

OpenStudy (anonymous):

That's a restatement of the same thing. It's not a reason for saying it.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Nope. Make sure your reasons actually make sense.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

which one is wrong?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

For example, your last statement is Line L || Line M because of substitution. Substitution of what? Into what? That's just a guess because it doesn't make any sense.

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

looks fine to me,

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Don't listen to him. It's definitely incorrect.

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

makes perfect logical sense the subsitution is \[\angle 2=\angle 3\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-_- nope.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

smoothmath so the last one is wrong?

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

what are the options for the reasons?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'd rather that instead of asking me which ones are wrong... just go through your proof step by step and try to see if you have a clear step by step logic.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

unklerhaukus, the point is to move the statements around until you organize them in order and logical sense

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im so confused -.-'

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

you have 4,5 the wrong way around
