In the figure, x || y and transversal z. Explain why and must be supplementary.

What will be an ideal response?


With x || y, corresponding angles 1 and 3 must be congruent. Then .

But and are supplementary in that the exterior sides of these adjacent angles form a straight line. Then . By substitution, . Then and are supplementary.
