HELP?? :( In the figure, p || q. You must prove that ∠4 is supplementary to ∠7. What is the reason for the highlighted statement in the proof?

What is the highlighted part of the question?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh, nevermind, I'm assuming it's the red box?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes it is.

If that's the case....Supplementary angles must form 180°. So, to prove that angles 4 and 7 are supplementary you'd need to show that in an equation form. angle4 + angle7=180. Then solve.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Same side interior angles -- When two parallel lines are crossed by a third line, eight angles are formed. The angles that are in between the two parallel lines, and on the same side of the third line, are called same side interior angles and they are supplementary. In the picture below, angles 1 and 2 are an example of same side interior angles. The proof would be Same Side Interior Angles Theorem
