Question

name the property of equality that the statement illustrates.
m∠1 = m∠2 and m∠2 = m∠5 . so, m∠1 = m∠5 .

the statement illustrates the property of equality.

Explanation:

The Transitive Property of Equality states that if \( a = b \) and \( b = c \), then \( a = c \). In the given statement, \( m\angle1 = m\angle2 \) (where \( a = m\angle1 \), \( b = m\angle2 \)) and \( m\angle2 = m\angle5 \) (where \( b = m\angle2 \), \( c = m\angle5 \)), so by the transitive property, \( m\angle1 = m\angle5 \).

Answer:

Transitive
