Proving Vertical Angles Are Congruent


Answer:
Statements: Reasons:
1) ∠2 and ∠4 are vertical angles given
2) limes m and n intersect at P definition of vertical angles
3) ∠3 and ∠4 are linear pair definition of linear pair
4) ∠2 and ∠3 are linear pair definition of linear pair
5) m∠3 + m∠4 =180 angle addition postulate
6) m∠2 + m∠3 =180 angle addition postulate
7) m∠2 + m∠3 = m∠3 + m∠4 substitution property
8) m∠2 = m∠4 subtraction property
9) ∠2 ≅ ∠4 definition of congruent(≅) angles
