Proof for Question 4

Statements Reasons

1. 1. Given

2. BF = EC 2. Congruent segments are

segments of = length.

3. BF = BC + CF 3. Segment Addition Postulate (or

EC = EF + CF Whole quantity = sum of parts.)

4. BC + CF = EF + CF 4. Substitution
5. CF = CF 5. Reflexive Property

6. BC = EF 6. Subtraction of Equalities

7. 7. Congruent segments are

segments of = length.

8. ∠ BCA supp ∠ ACF 8. ∠ s forming a linear pair are

∠ DFE supp ∠ DFC supplementary.

9. 9. Supplements of the same ∠ , or

congruent ∠ s. are congruent.

10. 10. SAS - if 2 sides and the included

∠ of 1 Δ are congruent to the
corres. parts of another Δ, the Δs
are congruent.

11. 11. CPCTC-corres. parts of

congruent Δs are congruent.

12. 12. If 2 lines are cut by a transversal

and the alternate interior ∠ s are
congruent, the lines are parallel.

Proof for Question 5

Statements Reasons
1. 1. Given

2. 2. Midpoint of a segment forms two

congruent segments.

3. 3. Vertical ∠ s are congruent.

4. 4. SAS-if 2 sides and the included ∠ of 1 Δ

are congruent to the corres. parts of
another Δ, the Δs are congruent.

5. 5. CPCTC-corres. parts of congruent Δs are

congruent.

6. 6. If 2 lines are cut by a transversal and the

alternate interior ∠ s are congruent, the
lines are parallel.

Proof for Question 6

Statements Reasons

1. 1. Given
2. 2. Bisector of an ∠ is a ray in
interior of ∠ forming 2 congruent
∠ s.

3. m∠ 1 = m∠ 3; m∠ 2 3. Congruent ∠ s have = measure.

4. m∠ 1 + m∠ 2 = 90 4. Complementary∠ s are 2∠ s the

sum of whose measures = 90.

5. m∠ 3 + m∠ 4= 90 5. Substitution

6. m∠ 1 + m∠ 3 + m∠ 2 + 6. Addition Postulate of Equalities.

m∠ 4 = 180

7. m∠ 1 + m∠ 3 = m∠ SRT 7. Angle Addition Postulate (or

m∠ 2 + m∠ 4 = m∠ UTR whole quantity = sum of parts)

8. m∠ SRT + m∠ UTR = 180 8. Substitution

9. ∠ SRT supp ∠ UTR 9. Supplementary ∠ s are 2 ∠ s the

sum of whose measures is 180.

10. 10. If 2 lines are cut by a transversal

and the interior ∠ s on the same
side of transversal are supp., the
lines are ||.
