1. Theorems should be proved using following step-by-step procedure.

A. Divide the theorem into its hypothesis (what is given) and its conclusion ( what is to be
proved). Underline the hypothesis with a single line, and the conclusion with a double line.

B. On one side, make a marked diagram. Marking on the diagram should include such helpful
symbols as square corners for right angles, cross marks for equal parts, and question marks for
parts to be proved equal.

C. On the other side, next to the diagram. Ste what is given and what is to be proved. The
“Given” and “To prove” must refer to the parts of the diagram.

D. Present a plan. Although not essential, a plan is very advisable. It should state the major
methods of proof to be used.

E. On the left, present statements in successively numbered steps. The last statement must be
the one to be proved. All statements must refer to parts of the diagram.

F. On the right, next to the statements, provide a reason for each statement. Acceptable reason
is the proof of a theorem are given facts, definitions, postulates, assumed theorems and
previously proven theorems

2. 2.1 The statement is true. Its converse “an angle with greater measure than a right angle is
obtuse” is not necessarily true; it might be a straight angle

2.2 The statement and its converse “ an acute angle is half a right angle is not necessarily true
since acute angle measure less than 90 degrees but greater than o degrees, so doesn’t have to
be half the measure of right angle

3. Follow the steps in proving in Section 2.5 to prove D

3.1 Complements of congruent angles are congruent.
A
Steps:
1. Complements of congruent angles are congruent.
3
2. Given: m<2 = m<4; <ABC & <DEF are right angles. 4
E
3. Prove: m<1 = m<3 1
2 F
B
C
4. By definition if an angle is a right angle then it is equal to 90 degrees. Given
that <2 = < 4 and using principle 3 states that complements of the same or of
congruent angles are congruent.

Steps 5 and 6

Statements Reasons
m<2 = m<4; <ABC & <DEF are right angles Given
<ABC and < DEF = 90 Definition of right angles
m<1 + m<2 = 90; Principles of pairs of angles: Principle 3
m<3+m<4 = 90
m<1 = m<3 Principle 3: Complements of the same or of
congruent angles are congruent.
3.2 Vertical angles are congruent.
Steps 2 and 3 2
1 3
Given: Line L intersect line M form vertical angles.
Prove: <1 = <3
 4. Construct a diagram where straight lines intersect form vertical angles. Pairs of
angles will be equal using Linear Pair Theorem. Then through transitive
property and subtraction property of equality to prove that vertical angles are
congruent.
Steps 5 and 6
Statements Reasons
Construction of diagram Given
m<1 + m<2 = 180 Definition of linear pair
m<2 + m<3 = 180 Definition of linear pair
m<1 + m<2 = m<2 + m<3 Transitive Property or substitution
m<1 = m<3 Subtraction property of equality
<1 = <3 Definition of Congruent
4. Solution:

2x = 24 3y = 60

x = 12 y = 20 by alternate interior angle

y - 5 = 42 x + 20 = 26

y = 47 x=6 by definition of kite

5. Find the measure of x and y of the indicated modules.

Answer

a. ) y = 75 PRINCIPLE 8

x = 180 -75 PRINCIPLE 9

X = 105

b. ) y = 40 PRINCIPLE 8

Z = 60 PRINCIPLE 8

c. ) x = 180 - 95 PRINCIPLE 9

x = 85

Y = 85 Principle 4
