Please check my answer. I think it's statement 3, it would mean they're congruent not suppl. @jim_thompson5910
why are angles 1 and 2 congruent?
Oh crap, I think I was looking at the wrong thing!
what do you mean?
Angle 1 + angle 3= 180 and ang. 2+ 3 = 180 so angle 1 & angle 2 are congruent. Am I mistaken?
So how you can state that in 2 or 3 words? There's a special theorem (and you provided a proof for that theorem).
Honestly, I don't remember.
I think it has the word congruence in it?
not really
look at how angle 1 and angle 2 are related (ignore the other stuff of the drawing) |dw:1419297866427:dw|
Okay
@jim_thompson5910 Statement 3 is incorrect because they are vertically opposite from one another, they are not suppl.
yes
Statement 3 *should* be this: For triangles AOB and DOC, angle 1 is equal to angle 2 as they are VERTICAL angles. ------------------------------------------------------- You provided a proof for the vertical angle theorem (which states that any two vertical angles are congruent).
