Definition of congruency > Converse Hinge Theorem v Hinge Theorem 35. Assume that 2D and ZE are both right angles. 2D = ZE because all right angles are congruent. This contradicts the given statement that 2D is not congruent to ZE. Therefore the assumption is false, and 2D and ZE are not both right angles. 36. Assume r- IIs. Since angles 1 and 2 are alternate interior angles, they are congruent. This contradicts the given. So the assumption is false and ris not parallel to s. 37. Assume 21= 22. Zand 22 forma linear pair by definition of linear pair. A linear pair is supplementary by the linear pair postulate. Since angles 1 and 2 are congruent and supplementary they are right angles. Since perpendicular lines form right angles, line t is perpendicular to k. This is a contradiction of the given, therefore the assumption is false and 21 is not congruent to 22. 38. Assume t 1 k. Angles 1 and 2 are right angles because perpendicular lines form right angles. Angle 1 is congruent to angle 2 because all right angles are congruent. This contradicts the given statement, so the assumption is false. 39. Assume a I b. Angles 2 and 3 are consecutive interior angles. Consecutive interior angles are supplementary. This contradicts the given, so a is not parallel tob. 40. Assume a || b. Angles 1 and 3 are corresponding angles, so they are congruent. Angles 3 and 4 are vertical angles so they are also congruent. Angle 1 is congruent to angle 4 by the transitive property. This contradicts the given, soa is not parallel to b.
