Complete the two-column proof. Given: ∠2 and ∠5 are supplementary Prove: l is parallel to m

@terenzreignz

terenzreignz (terenzreignz):

lol why tag me of all people XD And I don't get it, is that an answer box on the bottom?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thats my answer but i'm not sure

terenzreignz (terenzreignz):

I see. Let me just say that we may have been taught different ways on completing two-column proofs. Now, 'given' is never a statement, always a 'reason' The statement corresponding to it is THE given statement, which is?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

<2 and <5 ?

terenzreignz (terenzreignz):

Write the entire given statement. Or shorten it, just make sure you don't change the meaning.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@terenzreignz help me with a few more after this <3 pls write a paragraph proof of this theorem: In a plan, if two lines are perpendicular to the same line, then they are parallel to each other.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So the statement would be <2 and <5 are supplementary and reason is given?

terenzreignz (terenzreignz):

yup.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So everything else is right even both 4s?

terenzreignz (terenzreignz):

3 is a bit off.

terenzreignz (terenzreignz):

I'm thinking...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What would it be then? since supplementary = 180

terenzreignz (terenzreignz):

Yeah, but that's the definition of supplementary, not the reason that those two are supplementary... Unless I'm mistaken, it's because of substitution. I need a second opinion here... @ganeshie8 ?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

"By substitution" looks good to me for statement3's reason

terenzreignz (terenzreignz):

the problem here is that they only gave the student four lines to prove it, which means skipping a few major steps...

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

1. \(\angle 2 \) and \(\angle 5\) are supplementary 1. Given 2. \(\angle 3 \cong \angle 2\) 2. By vertical angles theorem 3. \(\angle 3\) and \(\angle 5\) are supplementary 3. By substitution 4. \(l || m\) 4. By converse of same side interior angles theorem

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

we can conclude it short by using that theorem/postulate...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that sounds right what about my second question

terenzreignz (terenzreignz):

Seems simple enough, and good thing it's a paragraph proof and not a bloody two-column one :D

terenzreignz (terenzreignz):

Are you allowed to use that illustration?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

terenzreignz (terenzreignz):

Well then, start with the statement that suppose r and t are parallel to line s.

terenzreignz (terenzreignz):

err perpendicular, not parallel :D

terenzreignz (terenzreignz):

@tyr1 pay attention >:( ;)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i have 2 more questions for you after this ,_,

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1. What is the slope of the line shown 2. Find the values of x,y, and z The diagram is not to scale

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so on 2 . X = 117 or 81? i'm not sure

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@terenzreignz @ganeshie8 pls friends <:

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

you're done wid that perpendicular lines question (2nd) ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yea

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

can u show me what u got for that proof ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

On the question before?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

If r is perpendicular to s, then by the definition of perpendicular lines angle 4 has a measure of 90 degrees. Using the same logic with line t, angle 6 is 90 degrees. Since the same side interior angles are supplementary, line r is parallel to line t.

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

looks good, let me change it a bit, real quick

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

If r is perpendicular to s, then by the definition of perpendicular lines angle 4 has a measure of 90 degrees. Using the same logic with line t, angle 6 is 90 degrees. Since the same side interior angles are supplementary, line r is parallel to line t by converse of same side interior angle theorem.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

paragraph proof and two column proofs should contain same info

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

in two columnn proof, u divide statements/reasons in two columns

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

in paragraph proof u mix everything. u must give proper justifications for everything u use/say ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

1. What is the slope of the line shown

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

u knw slope formula ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yea y2 - y1 x2 - x1 right?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

y2-y1 -------- x2-x1

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

look at the given graph, do u see two points on the line ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay i think i can do that one give me a second

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

okie

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-4 + 9 5 5 - -2 3

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

nope, try agian

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Did i mix the points up

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

(-2, 5) and (9, -4)

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

(-2, 5) and (9, -4) x1 y1 x2 y2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-4 + 5 1 9 - -2 7

OpenStudy (anonymous):

or do i add both and get -9 over 11

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

slope = \(\large \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}\)

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

\(\large \frac{-4-5}{9--2} = \frac{-9}{11}\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what about #2?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

use below :- interior angles in a triangle add up to 180

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

\(\large 63 + 36 + x = 180\)

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

solve \(x\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so x is 81 what about the z and y thats my problem

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

yes

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

look at the given pic, \(\angle x\) and \(\angle z\) are linear pair angles right ?
