Question

Use the figure to answer the question that follows:


When written in the correct order, the two-column proof below describes the statements and reasons for proving that corresponding angles are congruent.

Which is the most logical order of statements and reasons I, II, and III to complete the proof? (5 points)


1.I, III, II
2.II, I, III
3.II, III, I
4.III, I, II

Answer 2

It seems complicated but the basic message they're trying to get across is that if a=c and b=c, then a=b. Find the order of statements that follows this pattern and you'll have your answer!

Answer 3

I should mention though that this is purely based on my own thoughts as I have very little background in formal proofs!

Answer 4

Yes, but I can't find the order, like i don't know what comes first second third

Answer 5

It should not have an order. they are independent. you can prove them (3 statements) just by looking at the digram. doesn't need another statement for a statement to be derived.

you can select II,I,III. but others can be true too

Answer 6

@lochana Thanks, but do you think that, that one is the most accurate according to the question?
