To complete the proof based on the given information that \( r \parallel s \) and \( \angle 1 \cong \angle 3 \), let's step through the statements and match them with the appropriate reasons.
Statements and Reasons:
-
Statement: \( r \parallel s \)
Reason: Given -
Statement: \( \angle 1 \cong \angle 3 \)
Reason: Given -
Statement: \( \angle 1 \cong \angle 2 \)
Reason: Corresponding Angles Postulate (since \( r \parallel s \) and \( \angle 1 \) and \( \angle 2 \) are corresponding angles) -
Statement: \( \angle 2 \cong \angle 3 \)
Reason: Transitive Property of Congruence (because \( \angle 1 \cong \angle 2 \) and \( \angle 1 \cong \angle 3 \)) -
Statement: \( p \parallel q \)
Reason: Alternate Interior Angles Converse Theorem (since \( \angle 2 \) and \( \angle 3 \) are alternate interior angles)
Complete Proof Format:
- \( r \parallel s \) — Given
- \( \angle 1 \cong \angle 3 \) — Given
- \( \angle 1 \cong \angle 2 \) — Corresponding Angles Postulate
- \( \angle 2 \cong \angle 3 \) — Transitive Property of Congruence
- \( p \parallel q \) — Alternate Interior Angles Converse Theorem
This sequence aligns with the properties related to parallel lines and congruent angles, completing the proof that \( p \parallel q \).
