Angles Formed by

Intersecting Lines
SECTION 4.1 PAGE 164
Vertical Angles have the same
measure so they are
congruent

The angles in a linear pair are

supplementary, so the
measures add up to 180

Subtract from both sides to
conclude that . So
Yes, it does not matter which pair of
vertical angles is used. Similar statements
and similar reasons can be used.
Both angles have measure 90
degrees. All right angles are
congruent.
A theorem is a general statement and can
be used to justify steps in solving
problems, which are specific cases of
algebraic and geometric relationships.
Both proofs and problem solving use a
logical sequence of steps to justify a
conclusion or to find a solution.
A plan for a proof is less formal than a
proof. Both start from given info and reach
the final conclusion. A proof gives every
logical step.
