In the figure below, 1 and 2 are adjacent angles:
Write an indirect proof proving that the sum of 1 and 2 is 180°.

could someone help
OpenStudy (sethzk):
please
OpenStudy (thebossofme191):
well obviously one of the angles is like 45 degrees and the other 135 degrees i think
OpenStudy (sethzk):
I need to write an indirect proof

oh i can only do direct proof sorry
OpenStudy (sethzk):
It's ok xD
OpenStudy (thebossofme191):
if i may make a suggestion you could ask a qualified helper.
OpenStudy (sethzk):
i dont have those coins you need
OpenStudy (thebossofme191):
oh u need the coins to ask one?

ok

Assume that m<1+m<2 is not equal to 180. CA and CB are opposite rays. <1 and <2 are adjacent angles . 1 and < 2 are supplementary => m<1+m<2 = 180 . => the assumption m<1+m<2 is not 180 is false. =>the sum of two adjacent angles is 180.
OpenStudy (sethzk):
you dont need the reasoning when doing an indirect proof?

If angles 1 & 2 were not supplementary, then the three angles about the point C would not sum to 360°.
