Use the Corresponding Angles Postulate to prove the Alternate Interior Angles Theorem.
Proof: Statements Reasons
1. p||q 1. Given
2. <4 <8 2. Corresponding Angles Postulate
3. <8 <6 3. Vertical Angle Theorem
4. <4 <6 4. Transitive Property of Congruence
Use the Corresponding Angles Postulate to prove the Alternate Exterior Angles Theorem.
Proof: Statements Reasons
1. p||q 1. Given
2. <1 <5 2. Corresponding Angles Postulate
3. <5 <7 3. Vertical Angle Theorem
4. <1 <7 4. Transitive Property of Congruence
These proofs are called transitive proofs because they use the transitive property to complete the proof.
Use the Corresponding Angles Postulate to prove the Same-Side Exterior Angles Theorem.
Proof: Statements Reasons
1. p||q 1. Given
2. <1 <5 2. Corresponding Angles Postulate
3. m<5 + m<8 = 180° 3. Linear Pair Postulate
4. m<1 = m<5 5. Definition of Congruent Angles
5. m<1 + m<8 = 180˚ 6. Substitution Property of Equality
These proofs are called substitution proofs because they use substitution to complete the proof.
