Answer:

By definition, angles A and 1 are corresponding angles and angles B and 1 are consecutive angles. By the corresponding angles postulate, angles A and 1 are congruent, and by the consecutive angles theorem, angles B and 1 are supplementary. By the definition of supplementary angles, measures of angle B and 1 add up to 180 degrees (m<B + m<1 = 180). By definition of congruent angles, angles A and 1 have same measurement (m<A = m<1). By substitution property of equality, measures of angles A and B add up to 180 degrees (m<A + m<B = 180). By definition of supplementary angles, angles A and B are supplementary.
