Answer

\begin{array}{c|ll}& \textbf{Statement} & \textbf{Reasons} \\\hline1 & \angle1\text{ and} \angle2\text{ are supplementary} & \text{Given} \\2 & m\angle1+m\angle2=180 & \text{Definition of Supplementary} \\3 & \angle3\text{ and} \angle4\text{ are supplementary} & \text{Given} \\4 & m\angle3+m\angle4=180 & \text{Definition of Supplementary} \\5& m\angle1+m\angle2=m\angle3+m\angle4 & \text{Transitive Property of Equality} \\6 & \angle2\cong\angle4 & \text{Given} \\7 & m\angle2=m\angle4 & \text{Definition of Congruent} \\8 & m\angle1+m\angle4=m\angle3+m\angle4 & \text{Substitution Property of Equality} \\9 & m\angle1=m\angle3 & \text{Subtraction Property of Equality} \\10 & \angle1\cong \angle3 & \text{Definition of Congruent} \end{array}

Work Step by Step
