3. Answer :

Given : Q is the midpoint of PR

Prove : PQ = 1/2 ⋅ PR and QR = 1/2 ⋅ PR.

Statements

aaaa Q is the aaa  aamidpoint of PR

PQ = QR

PQ + QR = PR

PQ + PQ = PR

⋅ PQ = PR

PQ = 1/2 ⋅ PR

QR = 1/2 ⋅ PR

Reasons

Given aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaaaaa

Substitution property of equality

Distributive property

Division property of equality

Substitution property of equality

4. Answer :

To prove the Transitive Property of Congruence for angles, begin by drawing three congruent angles.

Label the vertices as A, B and C.

Given :

∠A ≅ ∠B

∠B ≅ ∠C

Prove :

∠A ≅ ∠C

Statements

∠A ≅ ∠B, ∠B ≅ ∠C

m∠A = m∠B

m∠B = m∠C

m∠A = m∠C

∠A ≅ ∠C

Reasons

Given

6. Answer :

Statements

aaaa ∠1 and ∠2 are aa aaaaa right angles

m∠1 = 90°,  m∠2 = 90°

m∠1 = m∠2

∠1 ≅ ∠2

Reasons

Given aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaa 

Definition of right angle

Transitive property of equality

Definition of congruent angles

7. Answer :

Statements

∠1 and ∠2 are supplements

∠3 and ∠4 are supplements
