The missing reason for the 5th step in the proof is (a) Substitution

Determining the missing reason for the 5th step in the proof

From the question, we have the following parameters that can be used in our computation:

The two column proof

In steps (3) and (4), we have the equations for the angle ANV

So in step (4), these values are simply substituted

Using the above as a guide, we have the following:

The missing reason for the 5th step in the proof is (a) Substitution
