  1. Proof Write a two-column proof to prove the Same-Side Interior Angles Theorem (Theorem 3-2).

    Given: l vertical linevertical line m

    Prove: angle 3  and angle 6  are supplementary.A diagonal transversal intersects horizontal parallel lines l, on top, and m, on bottom. Above l, angle 1 is left of the transversal and angle 2 right of the transversal. Angle 3 is below l right of the transversal. Angle 6 is above m right of the transversal.

  2. Proof Write a two-column proof.

    Given: eh vertical linevertical line b comma angle 1 approximately equal to angle 4

    Prove: angle 2 approximately equal to angle 3

    Two diagonal transversals intersect horizontal parallel lines.
