To justify a statement labeled as "statement 6," we would typically need context about the specific statement or theorem being referenced. However, given the options provided (Reflexive Property, Pythagorean Converse, Pythagorean Theorem, and Substitution Property), each serves distinct purposes in geometry and algebra:
1. **Reflexive Property**: This states that a quantity is equal to itself (e.g., a = a). It is often used to establish congruence or equality in geometric proofs.
2. **Pythagorean Theorem**: This theorem relates the lengths of the sides of a right triangle: \( a^2 + b^2 = c^2 \), where \( c \) is the length of the hypotenuse. This is used in problems involving right triangles.
3. **Pythagorean Converse**: This states that if \( a^2 + b^2 = c^2 \) holds true for given lengths, then the triangle with those side lengths is a right triangle. It essentially provides a way to establish the right angle.
4. **Substitution Property**: This allows for the replacement of one expression with another that is equal to it, often used in algebraic proofs.
Without additional context or specific content of statement 6, it's difficult to determine which justification is appropriate. If the statement pertains to a relationship needing identification or equality, you might lean towards the Reflexive Property or the Substitution Property. If it's about right triangles, then the Pythagorean Theorem or the Pythagorean Converse would be more relevant.
If you can provide more details about statement 6, I could assist you better in selecting the most appropriate justification.
