  1. 2.6 Proving Statements about Angles

  2. Properties of Angle Congruence Reflexive For any angle, A <A <A. Symmetric If <A <B, then <B <A. Transitive If <A <B and <B <C, then <A <C.

  3. Right Angle Congruence Theorem • All right angles are congruent. . A . X . . Y B Z C

  4. Congruent Supplements Theorem • If two angles are supplementary to the same angle, then they are congruent • If m<1 + m<2 = 180° and m<2 + m<3 = 180°, then m<1 = m<3 or

  5. Congruent Complements Theorem • If two angles are complementary to the same angle, then the two angles are congruent. • If m<4 + m<5 = 90° and m<5 + m<6 = 90°, then m<4 = m<6 or

  6. Linear Pair Postulate • If two angles form a linear pair, then they are supplementary. 1 2 m<1 + m<2 = 180°

  7. Example: • < 1 and < 2 are a linear pair. If m<1 = 78°, then find m<2.

  8. Vertical Angles Theorem • Vertical angles are congruent. 1 4 2 3

  9. Example <1 and <2 are complementary angles. <1 and <3 are vertical angles. If m<3 = 49°, find m<2.
