Given: Lines y and z are parallel, and ABC forms a triangle. Prove: m∠5 + m∠2 + m∠6 = 180° Lines y and z are parallel. Triangle A B C sits between the 2 lines with point A on line y and points C and B on line z. Angle C A B is 2. Its exterior angle to the left is 1 and its exterior angle to the right is 3. Angle A B C is 6 and its exterior angle to the right is 7. Angle B C A is 5 and its exterior angle to the left is 4. Statements Reasons 1. ABC is a triangle 1. given 2. y ∥ z 2. given 3. ∠1 ≅ ∠5; ∠3 ≅ ∠6 3. ? 4. m∠1 = m∠5; m∠3 = m∠6 4. def. ≅ 5. m∠1 + m∠2 + m∠3 = m∠LAM 5. ∠ addition postulate 6. m∠1 + m∠2 + m∠3 = 180° 6. def. Straight angle 7. m∠5 + m∠2 + m∠6 = 180° 7. substitution Which could be the missing reason in Step 3? alternate interior angles are congruent alternate exterior angles are congruent vertical angles are congruent corresponding angles are congruent
