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

OpenStudy (sethzk):

OpenStudy (sethzk):

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

OpenStudy (thebossofme191):

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?

OpenStudy (thebossofme191):

ok sorry i couldent help but i gtg

OpenStudy (sethzk):

ok

OpenStudy (alexandervonhumboldt2):

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?

OpenStudy (sethzk):

@ AlexandervonHumboldt2

OpenStudy (alexandervonhumboldt2):

well you need ......hm

OpenStudy (sethzk):

...

OpenStudy (sethzk):

what do i need

OpenStudy (sethzk):

@AlexandervonHumboldt2

OpenStudy (sethzk):

anyone

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

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