Answer 1

The correct statement that completes the proof is:

Transitive Property of Equality

So the completed proof would look like this:

Statements Reasons

1. m∡A+m∡C=180°
   1. Linear Pairs are supplementary
2. m∡A=m∡E
   2. Transitive Property of Equality
3. m∡E+m∡C=180°
   3. Substitution
4. ∠E and ∠C are supplementary
   4. Definition of Supplementary Angles
