Lines BC and ED are parallel. They are intersected by transversal AE, in which point B lies between points and E. They are also intersected by transversal EC. Angle ABC measures 70 degrees. Angle CED measures 30 degrees. Given: line BC is parallel to line ED
m∠ABC = 70°
m∠CED = 30°

Prove: m∠BEC = 40°

Statement Justification
line BC is parallel to line ED Given
m∠ABC = 70° Given
m∠CED = 30° Given

m∠BEC + m∠CED = m∠BED Angle Addition Postulate
m∠BEC + 30° = 70° Substitution Property of Equality
m∠BEC = 40° Subtraction Property of Equality
