OpenStudy (anonymous):

Do you know why angle 2 = angle 4?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no? i dont ge this at all

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It looks like the proof is complete... what's missing, the justifications?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i dont get a well a is given b d c

OpenStudy (anonymous):

all i have to do is tell if it is prove or given for b&d&c idk how i do that

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Alright, well, let's first investigate why <2 = <4. Those are alternate exterior angles of a transversal through two lines. If they are equal, then that means the transversed lines are parallel.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

<4 = 110º because it is given that <4 = <2, and <2 is given as 110º I hope that much at least makes sense to you.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no lol sorry

OpenStudy (anonymous):

would b : be given?

OpenStudy (aripotta):

b isn't given

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so it is prove?

OpenStudy (aripotta):

b is the transitive property

OpenStudy (anonymous):

(b) is practically given since it follows directly from the given information, but you have to use an axiom to justify it.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but i think d is given and c is prove also

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Nothing is given except what it says is given, and that is completely contained in the first line.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

"prove" is not a justification. You have to supply the reason why the statement is true.

OpenStudy (aripotta):

prove is what we're trying to prove. it's going to be our last statement, and it will still have to have a justification

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@hottiela , do you at least see why <3 +<4 = 180º?

OpenStudy (aripotta):

|dw:1350365754716:dw|

OpenStudy (aripotta):

why would m<4 + m<3 = 180? what makes that true?
