Algebra.Com's Answer #341001 by richard1234(7193)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! \"Form a linear pair\" is essentially the same as supplementary. Hence,\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "m1 + m2 = 180 --> m1 = 180 - m2 \n" ); document.write( "m2 + m3 = 180 --> m3 = 180 - m2\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Hence m1 and m3 are congruent.\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "To write a two-column proof, simply write out each step in a table, and justify each one (i.e. why is it true?). \n" ); document.write( " |
