Question

What is the missing step in the given proof?

1) ���pqc and ���acp are supplementary by the linear pair theorem.
2) for parallel lines cut by a transversal, corresponding angles are congruent, so ���acb ��� ���pcq.
3) ���ocp ��� ���bcd by the vertical angles theorem.
4) for parallel lines cut by a transversal, corresponding angles are congruent, so ���ocp ��� ���abc.
5) for parallel lines cut by a transversal, corresponding angles are congruent, so ���oca ��� ���cbd.

Answer 1

The missing step in the given proof is to state that angles ���acb and ���oca are congruent.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the given proof, the missing step is to state that angles ���acb and ���oca are congruent. This is because angles ���acb and ���pcq are corresponding angles formed by the parallel lines cut by a transversal. Similarly, angles ���ocp and ���abc are also corresponding angles formed by the parallel lines cut by a transversal.
