Answer 1

The answer is alternate interior angles theorem and substitution property of equality.

Answer 2

Answer:

The reason for ∠5≅∠3 is Alternate Interior Angles Theorem and the reason for ∠8+120°=180° is Substitution Property of Equality.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that the lines m and n are parallel to each other. The measure of angle 3 is 120 degree.

From the figure it noticed that the p is a transversal line intersecting the lines m and n.

According to the Alternate Interior Angles Theorem, if a transversal line intersect two parallel lines then the alternate interior angles are same.

By Alternate Interior Angles Theorem

$\angle 3\cong \angle 5$

$\angle 4\cong \angle 6$

Therefore, the reason for ∠5≅∠3 is Alternate Interior Angles Theorem.

Since the measure of angle 3 is 120 degree.

$\angle 5=120^{\circ}$

The angle 5 and 8 lies on a straight line, so by Linear Pair Postulate,

$\angle 8+\angle 5=180^{\circ}$

Use Substitution Property of Equality and substitute $\angle 5=120^{\circ}$.

$\angle 8+120^{\circ}=180^{\circ}$

Using Subtraction Property of Equality

$\angle 8=60^{\circ}$

Therefore the reason for ∠8+120°=180° is Substitution Property of Equality.
