1. <1 and <2 are complimentary 1.Given

2. m<1 + m<2=90* 2.DEFINITION OF COMPLEMENTARY ANGLES

3. <1 is congruent to <3, <2 is congruent to <4 3.__GIVEN______

4. m<1=m<3, m<2=m<4 4.DEFINITION OF CONGRUENT ANGLES_

5. m<3 + m<2=90* 5. SUBSTITUTION PROPERTY (m<1 is replaced by m<3.)

6. m<3 +m<4=90* 6. DEFINITION OF COMPLEMENTARY ANGLES
