Question
complete the proof that ( mangle g + mangle k + mangle ghk = 180^circ ) without using the triangle angle sum theorem.
(image of a triangle ( gkh ) with a line ( hi ) and a line ( hj ) parallel to ( gk ))
| statement | reason |
|---|---|
| 2 ( angle g cong angle ihj ) | converse of alternate interior angles theorem |
| 3 ( angle k cong angle jhk ) | alternate interior angles theorem |
| 4 ( mangle ihk = mangle ihj + mangle jhk ) | |
| 5 ( mangle ihk = mangle g + mangle k ) | additive property of angle measure |
| 6 ( mangle ihk + mangle ghk = 180^circ ) | |
| 7 ( mangle g + mangle k + mangle ghk = 180^circ ) |
(reasons for steps 4 and 6 are to be filled, with options like additive property of angle measure, angles forming a linear pair sum to ( 180^circ ), etc.)
Step1: Analyze Statement 6
We know that \( \angle IHK \) and \( \angle GHK \) form a linear pair (they are adjacent angles on a straight line). By the definition of a linear pair, angles forming a linear pair sum to \( 180^\circ \). So the reason for \( m\angle IHK + m\angle GHK = 180^\circ \) is "Angles forming a linear pair sum to \( 180^\circ \)".
Step2: Analyze Statement 7
From Statement 5, we have \( m\angle IHK = m\angle G + m\angle K \). Substitute \( m\angle IHK \) in Statement 6 with \( m\angle G + m\angle K \). So \( (m\angle G + m\angle K) + m\angle GHK = 180^\circ \), which simplifies to \( m\angle G + m\angle K + m\angle GHK = 180^\circ \) by substitution (using the result from Statement 5 in Statement 6).

For Statement 6, the reason is "Angles forming a linear pair sum to \( 180^\circ \)". For Statement 7, the reason is "Substitution Property (using \( m\angle IHK = m\angle G + m\angle K \) from Statement 5 into Statement 6)". The final proof shows \( m\angle G + m\angle K + m\angle GHK = 180^\circ \) is established.
