OK Thanks

In the figure below, angle with arc1 and angle with arc2 are adjacent angles: Line AB is shown. Point C lies between points A and B and a ray extends from point C. Angle 1 is created by the ray and segment AC while angle 2 is created by the ray and segment CB. Write an indirect proof proving that the sum of angle with arc1 and angle with arc2 is 180°.

1. Assume that the sum of angle 1 and angle 2 are not equal to 180 degrees. 2. Angle 1 and angle 2 are adjacent angles whose non-common sides are opposite rays. So they form a linear pair. 3. Since the sum of the measures of a linear pair is 180 degrees, this is a contradiction to the assumption that the sum of angle 1 and angle 2 are not equal to 180 degrees. Therefore the assumption is false and the sum of angle 1 and angle 2 are equal to 180 degrees.
