Question
given: \\( \angle 4 \cong \angle 6 \\)
prove: \\( \angle 4 \\) and \\( \angle 7 \\) are right angles
| statement | reason |
|---|---|
| 2 \\( \angle \square \\) and \\( \angle \square \\) are supplementary | select |
| 3 \\( \angle 4 \cong \angle 6 \\) | given |
| 4 \\( \angle \square \cong \angle \square \\) | select |
| 5 \\( \angle \square \cong \angle \square \\) | transitive property |
| 6 \\( \angle 4 \\) and \\( \angle 7 \\) are right angles | select |
Step1: Fill in the blanks for statement 2
Since \(\angle4\) and \(\angle7\) form a linear pair (statement 1), by the Linear Pair Postulate, \(\angle4\) and \(\angle7\) are supplementary.
Step2: Fill in the blanks for statement 4
\(\angle6\) and \(\angle7\) are supplementary (because \(\angle4\) and \(\angle7\) are supplementary from step 2 and \(\angle4\cong\angle6\) (given)).
Step3: Fill in the blanks for statement 5
From step 2 (\(\angle4+\angle7 = 180^{\circ}\)) and step 4 (\(\angle6+\angle7=180^{\circ}\)), we can say \(\angle4\cong\angle7\) (if two angles are supplementary to the same angle, then they are congruent).
Step4: Use the transitive property
Since \(\angle4\cong\angle6\) (given) and \(\angle4\cong\angle7\) (from step 3), by the transitive property \(\angle6\cong\angle7\)
Step5: Conclude that \(\angle4\) and \(\angle7\) are right angles
Since \(\angle4\) and \(\angle7\) are congruent and supplementary (\(\angle4+\angle7 = 180^{\circ}\)), each angle is \(90^{\circ}\) (if two congruent angles are supplementary, then each is a right angle)

- \(\angle4\) and \(\angle7\) are supplementary (Reason: Linear Pair Postulate)
- \(\angle6\cong\angle7\) (Reason: If two angles are supplementary to the same angle, then they are congruent)
- \(\angle4\cong\angle7\) (using the transitive property with \(\angle4\cong\angle6\) (given) and \(\angle6\cong\angle7\) (from step 4))
- Reason: If two congruent angles are supplementary, then each is a right angle
