linear pair. ∠QMB and ∠BMP are forming a linear pair. 3. ∠AMQ and ∠QMB are 3. Linear Pair Postulate supplementary ∠QMB and ∠BMP are supplementary. Statement Reason 4. M ∠AMQ + m ∠QMB = 180° 4. Linear Pair Postulate m ∠QMB + m ∠BMP = 180°
5.m ∠AMQ + m ∠QMB 5. Definition of Supplementary Angles
m ∠QMB + m ∠BMP
6. m ∠AMQ = m ∠BMP 6. Subtraction Property
7. ∠AMQ ≅ ∠BMP 7. Definition of Congruent Angles
Therefore, we have proven that ∠AMQ ≅ ∠BMP in the given situation. Hence, we have shown that the vertical angles are congruent. Thank you!!!
