given: $angle xob cong angle aox$
prove: $\text{m}angle xob = 90^circ$
statements reasons
- $angle xob cong angle aox$ 1. given
- $angle xob$ and $angle aox$ are supplementary 2. linear pair theorem
- $\text{m}angle xob + \text{m}angle aox = 180^circ$ 3. definition of supplementary angles
- $\text{m}angle xob = \text{m}angle aox$ 4. definition of congruence
- $2\text{m}angle xob = 180^circ$ 5. substitution property of equality
- $\text{m}angle xob = 90^circ$ 6. division property of equality
write the proof in a paragraph format.
since $overline{aob}$ forms a line segment, $angle xob$ and $angle aox$ are supplementary by the $circ$. using the definition of supplementary angles, $\text{m}angle xob + \text{m}angle aox = 180^circ$. since it is given that $angle xob cong angle aox$, then $\text{m}angle xob = \text{m}angle aox$. applying the $circ$, then $2\text{m}angle xob = 180^circ$. after dividing, $\text{m}angle xob = 90^circ$.
- The first blank refers to the theorem that states adjacent angles forming a straight line are supplementary, which is the linear pair theorem.
- The second blank refers to the property that allows replacing an equal quantity with another, which is the substitution property of equality, used here to replace $m\angle AOX$ with $m\angle XOB$ in the supplementary angle equation.
