Step-by-step solution for: Proofs in Geometry Form - Fill Out and Sign Printable PDF Template ...
It looks like you've uploaded a worksheet titled "Worksheet 2.6 Geometric Proof" with two geometry proof problems. Since I can't view images directly, I’ll help you solve the problems based on your description or by reconstructing them from typical geometry proofs of this nature.
Let’s go through each problem step by step and fill in the missing parts of the two-column proofs.

Given:
- ∠1 and ∠2 form a linear pair
- ∠3 and ∠4 form a linear pair
- ∠1 ≅ ∠3
Prove:
m∠1 + m∠2 = m∠3 + m∠4 = 180°
We are to complete the two-column proof.
#### Proof:
| Statements | Reasons |
|----------------|-------------|
| 1. ∠1 and ∠2 form a linear pair; ∠3 and ∠4 form a linear pair | 1. Given |
| 2. ∠1 and ∠2 are supplementary; ∠3 and ∠4 are supplementary | 2. Definition of linear pair (linear pairs are supplementary) |
| 3. ∠1 ≅ ∠3 | 3. Given |
| 4. m∠1 + m∠2 = 180°; m∠3 + m∠4 = 180° | 4. Definition of supplementary angles |
✔ So, we’ve shown that both sums equal 180°, which proves the statement.
> Note: The conclusion is already implied — since both pairs are supplementary, their measures add to 180°. The congruence of ∠1 and ∠3 is extra info, but not needed for the final equality unless comparing the individual angles.

Given:
m∠1 + m∠2 + m∠3 = 180°
(These three angles are likely the interior angles of a triangle)
Prove:
m∠1 : m∠2 : m∠3 = 1 : 2 : 4
Wait — this seems incomplete as stated. We cannot prove a ratio without more information.
But perhaps there's a typo or misinterpretation.
Let’s assume the actual given is:
> In triangle ABC, the angles are in the ratio 1:2:4, and the sum is 180°. Prove that the angles are in the ratio 1:2:4.
Or possibly:
> Given: m∠1 + m∠2 + m∠3 = 180°
> And: m∠1 : m∠2 : m∠3 = 1 : 2 : 4
> Find the measures of the angles.
But the prove statement says: "m∠1 : m∠2 : m∠3 = 1 : 2 : 4"
So it appears the goal is to show that the angles are in that ratio — but we need more given information to do so.
Unless... perhaps the diagram shows a triangle with some angle relationships?
Let’s suppose the diagram shows a triangle where one angle is twice another, and the third is four times the smallest.
Let’s assume the correct version of the problem is:
> Given: m∠1 + m∠2 + m∠3 = 180°
> And: m∠1 : m∠2 : m∠3 = 1 : 2 : 4
> Prove: The angles measure 20°, 40°, and 120° respectively.
But that’s just calculation.
Alternatively, maybe the given includes something like:
> ∠1 is half of ∠2, and ∠3 is twice ∠2
But that doesn’t match the ratio.
Let’s try solving it assuming the ratio is what we’re to verify, and we’re to find the actual measures.
Let’s suppose:
Let m∠1 = x
Then m∠2 = 2x
And m∠3 = 4x
Then:
x + 2x + 4x = 180°
7x = 180°
x = 180/7 ≈ 25.71°
So angles would be ≈25.7°, 51.4°, 102.9° — not nice numbers.
But if the ratio is 1:2:4, then the total parts = 7, so:
- ∠1 = (1/7) × 180° ≈ 25.7°
- ∠2 = (2/7) × 180° ≈ 51.4°
- ∠3 = (4/7) × 180° ≈ 102.9°
So unless the diagram gives more constraints (like right triangle, isosceles, etc.), we can't prove the ratio from just the sum.
Therefore, I suspect the problem is misstated or missing information.
But let’s look at the two-column proof format provided:
| Statements | Reasons |
|-----------|--------|
| 1. m∠1 + m∠2 + m∠3 = 180° | 1. Given |
| 2. ? | 2. ? |
| 3. ? | 3. ? |
| 4. m∠1 : m∠2 : m∠3 = 1 : 2 : 4 | 4. ? |
This suggests the proof is supposed to deduce the ratio from other facts.
But without additional given statements (e.g., angle relationships), it’s impossible.
Possibility: Maybe the diagram shows a triangle with an exterior angle or parallel lines?
Another idea: Perhaps the triangle has angles such that:
- ∠1 = x
- ∠2 = 2x
- ∠3 = 4x
Then using triangle sum:
x + 2x + 4x = 180° → 7x = 180 → x = 180/7
Then the ratio is 1:2:4 — but again, that’s not a proof unless we're told those relationships.
So unless the given includes that ∠2 = 2∠1 and ∠3 = 4∠1, we can't proceed.
Let’s assume the correct given is:
> Given: m∠1 = x, m∠2 = 2x, m∠3 = 4x, and m∠1 + m∠2 + m∠3 = 180°
> Prove: m∠1 : m∠2 : m∠3 = 1 : 2 : 4
Then:
| Statements | Reasons |
|-----------|--------|
| 1. m∠1 = x, m∠2 = 2x, m∠3 = 4x | 1. Given |
| 2. m∠1 + m∠2 + m∠3 = 180° | 2. Given (triangle sum) |
| 3. x + 2x + 4x = 180° | 3. Substitution |
| 4. 7x = 180° | 4. Combine like terms |
| 5. x = 180/7 | 5. Division property |
| 6. m∠1 = 180/7, m∠2 = 360/7, m∠3 = 720/7 | 6. Substitution |
| 7. m∠1 : m∠2 : m∠3 = 1 : 2 : 4 | 7. Ratio of measures |
So the ratio is preserved regardless of the actual value of x.
Thus, even though the angles aren’t whole numbers, the ratio is 1:2:4.
So the proof is valid if we are told the angles are in that proportion.

#### Problem 1:
The proof is completed as follows:
| Statements | Reasons |
|------------|---------|
| 1. ∠1 and ∠2 form a linear pair; ∠3 and ∠4 form a linear pair | 1. Given |
| 2. ∠1 and ∠2 are supplementary; ∠3 and ∠4 are supplementary | 2. Definition of linear pair |
| 3. ∠1 ≅ ∠3 | 3. Given |
| 4. m∠1 + m∠2 = 180°; m∠3 + m∠4 = 180° | 4. Definition of supplementary angles |
✔ Therefore, m∠1 + m∠2 = m∠3 + m∠4 = 180° — proven.
---
#### Problem 2:
Assuming the given includes that the angles are in the ratio 1:2:4 and sum to 180°, then:
| Statements | Reasons |
|------------|---------|
| 1. m∠1 + m∠2 + m∠3 = 180° | 1. Given (sum of angles in triangle) |
| 2. Let m∠1 = x, m∠2 = 2x, m∠3 = 4x | 2. Assume ratio 1:2:4 |
| 3. x + 2x + 4x = 180° | 3. Substitution |
| 4. 7x = 180° | 4. Simplify |
| 5. x = 180/7 | 5. Division |
| 6. m∠1 = 180/7, m∠2 = 360/7, m∠3 = 720/7 | 6. Substitution |
| 7. m∠1 : m∠2 : m∠3 = 1 : 2 : 4 | 7. Ratio of coefficients |
✔ Therefore, the ratio is 1:2:4.

⚠️ Important Note: If the problem does not give the relationship between the angles (i.e., that they are in the ratio 1:2:4), then you cannot prove it from just the sum being 180°. You need additional information.
Please double-check the given in Problem 2 — it might say something like “∠2 = 2∠1” and “∠3 = 4∠1”, which would make the proof valid.
If you can describe the diagram or clarify the givens, I can adjust the solution accordingly.
