PLEASE ANYONE HELP! Given the diagram below with ∠5 ≅ ∠6 and ∠6 ≅ ∠4, prove that AD||BC Use the two-column proof format. Picture attached.

Directrix (directrix):

Given: Diagram as shown; ∠5 ≅ ∠6 and ∠6 ≅ ∠4 Prove: SegmentAD || Segment BC

Directrix (directrix):

Statements ---------- 1. ∠5 ≅ ∠6 2. ∠6 ≅ ∠4 3. Therefore, <5 ≅ <4 4. Segment AD || Segment BC

Directrix (directrix):

Check the statements. Your Task: Write the reasons. I'll check them if you like after you finish.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

THANK YOU SO MUCH! I'll write them now! THANK YOU THANK YOU THAAAANK YOU! :)

Reasons: 1)Given 2)Given 3)Angle addition postulate 4)CPCTC (I am not sure about this :(! )

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Directrix

Directrix (directrix):

Reasons 3 and 4 are not correct.

Directrix (directrix):

For reason 3, look at statements one and two. Two angles congruent to the same angle are congruent to each other is known as which property?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Is it definition of congruence?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I am sorry for bothering you :(

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and thank you for helping!

Directrix (directrix):

The property begins with the letter "T"

OpenStudy (anonymous):

m∠4 = m∠A + m∠B - Exterior Angle Theorem can this be added to the proof?

Directrix (directrix):

and ends with "of Congruence." So, you are on the right track.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the transitive property of congruence?

Directrix (directrix):

>m∠4 = m∠A + m∠B - Exterior Angle Theorem can this be added to the proof? No. We are not doing anything with triangles. We are working with parallel lines.

Directrix (directrix):

>the transitive property of congruence Yes, this is correct for reason 3.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thank you! :)

Directrix (directrix):

Now, this > 4. Segment AD || Segment BC Look at the diagram. What kind of angles are angles 5 and 4 with respect to segments AD and BC and transversal AB?
