Use a paragraph proof to prove the converse of the corresponding angles postulate. Given: Corresponding angles are congruent Prove: segment A B is parallel to segment C D.
start by stating the given info
It is given that the corresponding angles are congruent. So `angle 2` and `angle 6` are congruent as they are corresponding angles... See if you can expand on this
corresponding angles can be formed by a traversal line going through two parallel line. Segment fe goes through both AB and CD and angle 2 and 6 are congruent this proves that AB and CD are parallel
@ganeshie8
you need to justify each statement with a valid reason
It is given that the corresponding angles are congruent. So `angle 2` and `angle 6 `are congruent as they are corresponding angles. `angle 2` and `angle 4` are congruent as they are vertical angles. That makes `angle 4 = angle 6` by transitive property. However `angle 4` and `angle 6` are alternate interior angles. So the lines AB and CD are parallel by converse of alternate interior angles theorem.
if that makes more or less sense...
ok i just had to look up the property definitions but that way makes more sense
