Question

Lines BC and ED are parallel. They are intersected by transversal AE, in which point B lies between points and E. They are also intersected by transversal EC. Angle ABC measures 70 degrees. Angle CED measures 30 degrees.

Given: line BC is parallel to line ED
m∠ABC = 70°
m∠CED = 30°

Prove:m∠BEC = 40°

Statement Justification
line BC is parallel to line ED Given
m∠ABC = 70° Given
m∠CED = 30° Given
m∠ABC = m∠BED Corresponding Angles Theorem

m∠BEC + 30° = 70° Substitution Property of Equality
m∠BEC = 40° Subtraction Property of Equality


Which of the following accurately completes the missing statement and justification of the two-column proof?

Answer 1

so like a first step, draw this case ,will be more understandably
