Angles theorem
Vertical angles are congruent
Statement Reason
1. AB intersect PQ at M. 1. Given
2. ∠AMQ and ∠QMB are forming a 2. Definition of a Linear Pair
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.
