Problem

Example Complete the proof by writing the missing reasons. Choose from the following reasons. You may use a reason more than once. Refer to the reason bank below. Given: $p \| q$ (line $p$ parallel to line $q$ ) Prove: $m \angle 3=m \angle 5$ Two-Column Proof of the Alternate Interior Angles Theorem

Solution

Step 1 :Given that line p is parallel to line q, we can assume that a transversal line cuts the parallel lines p and q, forming the angles. Angle 3 and angle 5 are alternate interior angles.

Step 2 :According to the Alternate Interior Angles Theorem, if two parallel lines are cut by a transversal, then the alternate interior angles are congruent.

Step 3 :Therefore, \(m \angle 3=m \angle 5\).

Step 4 :\(\boxed{m \angle 3=m \angle 5}\)
