Proof: Parallel Then Corresponding Short 3
Let's prove the following theorem:
if WX || YZ and m∠ZXR = 180, then m∠YZX = m∠WXR
Proof:
Given
| 1 | WX || YZ |
|---|---|
| 2 | m∠ZXR = 180 |
| # | Claim | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | m∠RXZ = 180 | if m∠ZXR = 180, then m∠RXZ = 180 |
| 2 | m∠WXR = m∠YZX | if WX || YZ and m∠RXZ = 180, then m∠WXR = m∠YZX |
| 3 | m∠YZX = m∠WXR | if m∠WXR = m∠YZX, then m∠YZX = m∠WXR |
