Answer:

See the answer below.

Explanation:

∠ a and ∠c are vertical angles Given

∠a + ∠d = 180 Definition of linear pairs or straight angles

∠d + ∠c = 180 Definition of linear pairs or straight angles

∠a + ∠d = ∠d + ∠c Substitution

∠a = ∠c Subtraction

Therefore ∠a ≅ ∠c Definition of congruent

Note:

Now you know that if you have a pair of vertical angles then the angles are congruent
