The correct matching of the statement and reasons in the proof given goes thus:
- a | | b - - - - - - - - - - GIVEN
- m∠1 = m∠2 - - - - corresponding angles are equal
- m∠1 = m∠2 - - - - - Substitution
The first reason stated when starting a proof is 'GIVEN' as it has been stated in the question a | | b and m 1 = m 3
From the diagram, the traversal cuts the two parallel lines, creating a corresponding angle at m∠1 and m∠2
Since, we've been told that m1 = m3 in the initial statement, we assign the value of the angle m∠1 to m∠3 (substitution)
Hence, the proof.
