Proving Angle Relationships Chapter 2 Section 8
Angle Addition Postulate
Using the Angle Addition Postulate 1 EXAMPLE Using the Angle Addition Postulate 75
Find the measure of each numbered angle and name the theorem that justifies your work. They are a linear pair, so they will add to 180. Solve for x. All angles add to 180. Solve for x. Angles 1 and 2 add to 90. Angles 11 and 13 add to 180.
Properties of Congruent Angles Reflexive Property ∠ A ≅ ∠ A Symmetric Property If ∠ A ≅ ∠ B, then ∠ B ≅ ∠ A Transitive Property If ∠ A ≅ ∠ B and ∠ B ≅ ∠ C, then ∠ A ≅ ∠ C
Theorem 2.4:Congruent Supplements Theorem If two angles are supplementary to the same angle (or to congruent angles), then they are congruent.
Theorem 2.5:Congruent Complements Theorem If two angles are complementary to the same angle (or to congruent angles), then they are congruent.
Theorem 2.8 Vertical Angles Theorem Vertical angles are congruent. 2 3 1 4 ∠1 ≅ ∠3; ∠2 ≅ ∠4
Example – Using Vertical Angles Theorem Find the value of x 4x 3x + 35 What is each angle measure? Set 4x = 3x + 35 Solve for x
