Question
match the reasons with the statements given.
given:
△abr
\\( \overline { r a } = \overline { r b } \\)
\\( \overrightarrow { r s } \parallel \overline { a b } \\)
prove:
\\( \angle 1 = \angle 2 \\)
helpful hint: start by identifying the given first.
- segment ra=segment rb, rs\\( \parallel \\)ab given
- \\( \angle a = \angle b \\) substitution
- \\( \angle a = \angle 2 \\) if lines \\( \parallel \\), alternate interior \\( \angle \\)s =
- \\( \angle b = \angle 1 \\) base \\( \angle \\)s of isosceles triangle =
- \\( \angle 1 = \angle 2 \\) if lines \\( \parallel \\), corresponding \\( \angle \\)s =
Step1: Identify given statements
Statement 1 is the given information about the triangle and parallel lines.
Step2: Use isosceles triangle property
In \(\triangle ABR\), since \(RA = RB\), by the base angles of isosceles triangle property, \(\angle A=\angle B\).
Step3: Use alternate - interior angles
Because \(RS\parallel AB\), \(\angle A\) and \(\angle 2\) are alternate - interior angles. So, by the property “If lines \(\parallel\), alternate interior \(\angle\)'s =”, \(\angle A=\angle 2\).
Step4: Use corresponding angles
Since \(RS\parallel AB\), \(\angle B\) and \(\angle 1\) are corresponding angles. So, by the property “If lines \(\parallel\), corresponding \(\angle\)'s =”, \(\angle B = \angle 1\).
Step5: Use substitution
Since \(\angle A=\angle B\), \(\angle A=\angle 2\) and \(\angle B=\angle 1\), by substitution, \(\angle 1=\angle 2\).
