State the converse of each statement.
1. 2. If 1 is a right angle, then m1 = 90. If m1 + m2 = 180, then 1 and 2 are supplementary.

Example 2:
Find the value of x that makes j k.
Lines j and k are parallel if the angles are supplementary. x + 4x = 180 5x = 180 x = 36
4x
So if x = 36, then j k.
Checkpoint 2:
We take the diagram from Example 2 and double the x to 2x. Find the value of x that makes j k.
Lines j and k are parallel if the angles are supplementary. 2x + 4x = 180 6x = 180 x = 30
4x
So if x = 30, then j k.
Summarizer
How is the converse of a statement related to the statement?
