Proving Angles Congruent LESSON 2-5 Additional Examples Find the value of x. The angles with labeled measures are vertical angles because their sides are opposite rays. Apply the Vertical Angles Theorem to find x. 4x – 101 = 2x + 3 Vertical Angles Theorem 4x = 2x + 104 Addition Property of Equality 2x = 104 Subtraction Property of Equality x = 52 Division Property of Equality Quick Check
Proving Angles Congruent LESSON 2-5 Additional Examples Write a paragraph proof using the given, what you are to prove, and the diagram. Given: WX = YZ Prove: WY = XZ Proof: It is given that WX = YZ. Adding the middle segment, XY, to each smaller segment gives WX + XY = YZ + XY. By the Segment Addition Postulate, WX + XY = WY, and XY + YZ = XZ. Using substitution, you get WY = XZ. Quick Check
