Answer:

Answer 1; Angles forming a linear sum to 180°

Answer 2; Substitution

Answer 3; Definition of perpendicular lines

Explanation:

The two column proof is presented as follows;

Statement
{} Reason

1. ∠SWT ≅ ∠TWU
{} Given

2. m∠SWT + m∠TWU = 180°
{} Angles forming a linear sum to 180°

3. m∠SWT + m∠SWT = 180°
{} Substitution

4. m∠SWT = 90°
{} Algebra

5.
\underset{TV}{\leftrightarrow }
\underset{SU}{\leftrightarrow }
{} Definition of perpendicular lines

Perpendicular lines are defined as lines that are at right angles (90°) to each other, therefore given that the angle formed by the lines
\underset{TV}{\leftrightarrow } and
\underset{SU}{\leftrightarrow } m∠SWT = 90°, therefore, the lines
\underset{TV}{\leftrightarrow } and
\underset{SU}{\leftrightarrow } are perpendicular to each other.
