Question

which property is illustrated in this statement?
$m\angle a = m\angle a$
reflexive property: $a = a$
symmetric property: if $a = b$, then $b = a$
transitive property: if $a = b$ and $b = c$, then $a = c$
distributive property: $a(b + c) = ab + ac$
distributive property
reflexive property
transitive property
symmetric property

Explanation:

The statement \(m\angle A = m\angle A\) shows a quantity being equal to itself. According to the definitions provided, the Reflexive Property is defined as \(a = a\). Here, \(a\) is \(m\angle A\), so this statement illustrates the Reflexive Property.

Answer:

Reflexive Property
