Writing Proofs Notes

1. The vertical angle theorem states that if two angles are vertical angles, then they are congruent. 2. A two-column proof is presented to prove that if two angles are vertical angles, then they are congruent using statements in one column and reasons in another. 3. Several other angle theorems are defined, including the congruent supplement theorem, linear pair theorem, and the theorem that all right angles are congruent and measure 90 degrees.

Vertical angle theorem​- Is a proven conjecture -

Vertical angles are congruent, if.. 1 and 2 are congruent and 3 and 4 are
congruent
Example 1:
Given- <1 and <2 are vertical angles
Prove- < 1 is congruent to <2

Input- Output-
<1 and <2 are vertical angles <1,<2,<3 vertical angles
<3 and we have a diagram <1 is congruent to <2

A proof- Is a convincing argument that uses deductive reasoning.


Two-column proof- In which the statements and reasons are aligned.
In columns- Is one way to organize and present proof.

Statements: Reasons:
1. <1 And < 2 are vertical angles 1. Given
2. m<1 + m< 3=180 2. Supplementary angles
m<1 + m< 3= 180 3. Transitive property of equality
3. m<1 +m< 3= M< 2+ m< 3 4. Subtraction property of
4. m<1 = m<2 equality
5. <1 is congruent <2 5. By definition of congruent
angles.

Vertical angle theorem ex.


72=5x +2- 70=5x- x=14 ( remember that x is just a value)

Congruent supplement theorem- ​ ​If two angles are supplementary


to congruent angles then they are congruent.

If.. m<1 +m<2 = 180 and m< 3 + m< 2= 180 then.. < 1 is congruent to < 3.
Given: <1 and <2 are supplementary < 2 and , 3 are supplementary.
Prove: < 1 is congruent to < 3.
Statements: Reasons:
1. <1 and < 2 are supp. <2 and 1. Given
< 3 are supp. 2. Definiton of supp.
2. m<1 +m < 2= 180, m<2 + m< 3. Transitive property of equality
3= 180 4. Subtraction property of
3. m<1 + m< 2 = m, 2 + m< 3 equality
4. m< 1= m< 3 5. Definition of congruent
5. < 1 is congruent to < 3. angles.

If.. m< 1 + m< 2= 90 and m< 3 + m< 2 = 90 then.. <1 is congruent to < 3.
Theorem- All right angles are congruent- true
Right angles =90 degrees

If ... then… < a is congruent to < b.


-If two angles are congruent and supplementary then each is a right angle.
If … < 1 is congruent to < 2 and m< 2 =180 then < 1 and < 2 are right
angles.

Linear pair theorem- ​The sum of the measures of a linear pair is 180.

If.. < 1 and < 2 form a line or pair then.. m< 1 + m< 2 = 180
Given: m< 1= m< 2, m< 1= 105
Prove: m < 3= 75
