Answer:

The answer is below

Explanation:

a)

∠1 ≅ ∠4 When two parallel lines are cut by a Transversal, the pair

of angles on the outer side of each of those two lines

but on opposite sides of the transversal are Alternate

Exterior Angles which are equal.

∠1 = ∠4 Definition of Alternate exterior angles.

∠4 and ∠5 form Definition of linear pair.

linear pair

∠4 and ∠5 are If linear pair, then it is supplementary.

supplementary.

m∠4 + m∠5 = 180 Definition of supplementary

m∠1 + m∠5 = 180 Substitution property of equality

∠1 and ∠5 are Definition of supplementary.

supplementary.

b)

∠5 ≅ ∠2 When two parallel lines are cut by a Transversal, the

angles in matching corners are called corresponding

angles which are equal. These angles are congruent.

∠2 ≅ ∠4 When two parallel lines are cut by a Transversal, the

angles in opposite positions relative to a transversal

are alternate angles. These angles are congruent.

∠5 ≅ ∠4 Substitution property of equality

∠5 ≅ ∠8 When two parallel lines are cut by a Transversal, the

angles in opposite positions relative to a transversal

are alternate angles. These angles are congruent.

∠5 ≅ ∠4 Substitution property of equality
