Typing in all caps is the electronic communication equivalent of shouting. It is both rude and annoying. Please don't apologize or provide a lame excuse like "I didn't notice the Caps Lock was on..." Just don't do it any more.

Since 1 and 4 are supplementary, the measure of 1 plus the measure of 4 is 180 degrees. Hence 180 minus the measure of 1 is 4. Likewise, the measure of 2 plus the measure of 3 is 180. Substituting since 1 and 3 are congruent, the measure of 2 plus the measure of 1 is 180. Hence, 180 minus the measure of 1 is 2. The measure of 4 and the measure of 2 are the same, so they have to be congruent.
