The figure below shows rhombus ABCD. The paragraph proof with missing statement proves that the opposite interior angles of the rhombus are congruent Which statement can be used to fill in the blank space?

OpenStudy (zeesbrat3):

The figure is a rhombus which is given. The definition of a rhombus guarantees that and are parallel and that and are parallel. ∡1 + ∡2 = 180 and ∡2 + ∡3 = 180 because they are same side interior angles of two parallel lines cut by a transversal. By the transitive property of equality, __________________________. Using the subtraction property of equality, ∡1 = ∡3. Similarly, ∡2 + ∡3 = 180 and ∡3 + ∡4 = 180 because they are same side interior angles of two parallel lines cut by a transversal. Therefore, using the transitive property of equality, ∡2 + ∡3 = ∡3 + ∡4. Using the subtraction property of equality, ∡2 = ∡4. Since ∡1 = ∡3 and ∡2 = ∡4 by the definition of congruence, these opposite angles are congruent.

only one blank space to fill ?

OpenStudy (zeesbrat3):

ya. But tis multiply choice

OpenStudy (zeesbrat3):

*its

OpenStudy (zeesbrat3):

∡1 + ∡2 = ∡2 + ∡3 ∡1 = ∡3 ∡1 + ∡2 = ∡3 + ∡4 ∡1 + ∡2 = 180 and ∡2 + ∡3 = 180

∡1 + ∡2 = 180 and ∡2 + ∡3 = 180 whats transitive property of equality ?

OpenStudy (zeesbrat3):

I thought C, but Im not sure

OpenStudy (anonymous):

a = b and b = c => a = c

OpenStudy (anonymous):

∡1 + ∡2 = 180 and ∡2 + ∡3 = 180 => ∡1 + ∡2 = ∡2 + ∡3

OpenStudy (zeesbrat3):

Oh.. I hate proofs.. lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol your first guess is right... !(:

OpenStudy (zeesbrat3):

thanks.

No problem xD
