Lesson 2.7 Transitive and Substitution Properties Objective: After studying this lesson you will be able to apply the transitive properties of segments and angles. You will also be able to apply the substitution property.
A U Theorem 16 If angles (or segments) are congruent to the same angle (or segment), they are congruent to each other. (transitive property) S
Theorem 17 If angles (or segments) are congruent to congruent angles (or segments), they are congruent to each other. (transitive property)
A B The Substitution Property
Given: Prove: StatementsReasons F G K H J 4. If segments are congruent to the same segment, they are congruent If a line divides a segment into two congruent segments, it bisects the segment.
Given: Prove: StatementsReasons
PQ R 2y + a = x + y + a 2y = x + y y = x
