Given: g ∥ h and ∠2 ≅ ∠3

Prove: e ∥ f


Horizontal and parallel lines e and f are intersected by diagonal and parallel lines g and h. At the intersection of lines g and e, the bottom right angle is angle 2. At the intersection of lines h and e, the bottom right angle is angle 1. At the intersection of lines f and h, the top left angle is angle 3.


Statements Reasons

1. g || h 1. given

2. ∠1 ≅ ∠2 2. corresponding angles theorm

3. ∠2 ≅ ∠3 3. given

4. ∠1 ≅ ∠3 4. transitive property

5. e || f 5. ?

What is the missing reason in the proof?


vertical angles theorem

alternate exterior angles theorem

converse corresponding angles theorem

converse alternate interior angles theorem

Answer :

Converse alternate interior angles theorem.

Answer:

In the image, you can observe a diagram representing this problem.

We know by given that [tex]g \parallel h[/tex] and [tex]\angle 2 \cong \angle 3[/tex].

From the parallelism between line g and line h, we deduct several congruence between angles.

[tex]\angle 2 \cong \angle 1[/tex], by corresponding angles (same side of the transversal, one interior, the other exterior to parallels).

Now, to demonstrate [tex]e \parallel f[/tex], we must demonstrate a congruence between angle 2 and an angle on the intersection between line g and line f.

In the parallelogram formed, we know

[tex]\angle 2 + \angle 3+ 180-\angle 1 + x =360[/tex]

Where [tex]x[/tex] is the angle at the intersection line g and line f.

But, we know [tex]\angle 2 \cong \angle 3[/tex] and [tex]\angle 2 \cong \angle 1[/tex], so

[tex]\angle 2 + \angle 2 +180 - \angle 2 +x=360\\\angle 2 + x=180[/tex]

Notice that we don't have a congruence, however there's theorem which states that the same-side interior angles of parallels are supplementary.

In this case, we use the corolary of that theorem, which states if two same-side interior angles are supplementary, then the lines are parallels.

[tex]\therefore e \parallel f[/tex]

However, according to the choices of the problem, the missin proof is "converse alternate interior angles theorem", because the problem was demonstrate using transitive property, to show that angles 1 and 3 are congruent, there by converse alternate interior angles theorem, lines e and f are parallels.

This is the same case we used, but using converse alternate interior angles theorem.
