Complete the two-column proof. Given: ∠2 and ∠5 are supplementary Prove: l is parallel to m
@terenzreignz
lol why tag me of all people XD And I don't get it, is that an answer box on the bottom?
thats my answer but i'm not sure
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?
<2 and <5 ?
Write the entire given statement. Or shorten it, just make sure you don't change the meaning.
@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.
So the statement would be <2 and <5 are supplementary and reason is given?
yup.
So everything else is right even both 4s?
3 is a bit off.
I'm thinking...
What would it be then? since supplementary = 180
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 ?
"By substitution" looks good to me for statement3's reason
the problem here is that they only gave the student four lines to prove it, which means skipping a few major steps...
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
we can conclude it short by using that theorem/postulate...
that sounds right what about my second question
Seems simple enough, and good thing it's a paragraph proof and not a bloody two-column one :D
Are you allowed to use that illustration?
yes
Well then, start with the statement that suppose r and t are parallel to line s.
err perpendicular, not parallel :D
@tyr1 pay attention >:( ;)
i have 2 more questions for you after this ,_,
1. What is the slope of the line shown 2. Find the values of x,y, and z The diagram is not to scale
so on 2 . X = 117 or 81? i'm not sure
@terenzreignz @ganeshie8 pls friends <:
you're done wid that perpendicular lines question (2nd) ?
yea
can u show me what u got for that proof ?
On the question before?
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.
looks good, let me change it a bit, real quick

okay
paragraph proof and two column proofs should contain same info
in two columnn proof, u divide statements/reasons in two columns
in paragraph proof u mix everything. u must give proper justifications for everything u use/say ok
ok
1. What is the slope of the line shown
u knw slope formula ?
yea y2 - y1 x2 - x1 right?
y2-y1 -------- x2-x1
look at the given graph, do u see two points on the line ?
okay i think i can do that one give me a second
okie
-4 + 9 5 5 - -2 3
nope, try agian
Did i mix the points up
(-2, 5) and (9, -4)
(-2, 5) and (9, -4) x1 y1 x2 y2
-4 + 5 1 9 - -2 7
or do i add both and get -9 over 11
slope = \(\large \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}\)
\(\large \frac{-4-5}{9--2} = \frac{-9}{11}\)
what about #2?
use below :- interior angles in a triangle add up to 180
\(\large 63 + 36 + x = 180\)
solve \(x\)
so x is 81 what about the z and y thats my problem
yes
look at the given pic, \(\angle x\) and \(\angle z\) are linear pair angles right ?
