Question

CAN SOMEONE HELP ASAP PLEASE!!

Daryl wrote the following proof to prove that alternate interior angles 3 and 5 are congruent. He made two errors in the proof. Identify and correct the errors.



Steps Statements Justification
1. PQ || RS by Given
2. Angle 1 ≅ Angle 3 by Vertical Angle Postulate
3. Angle 6 ≅ Angle 8 by Vertical Angle Postulate
4. Angle 1 ≅ Angle 8 by Exterior Angle Postulate
5. Angle 3 ≅ Angle 5 by Transitive Property of Equality

Answer 1

The errors are in steps 4 and 5. Step 4 would be that angle 1 is supplementary to angle 8, and step 5 would be that angles 3 and 5 are congruent because they are alternate interior angles.
