1. m∠WXY = 22°, m∠YXZ = 22°
2. m∠WXY = 50°, m∠YXZ = 50°
3. m∠A = 47°, m∠B = 133°
4. m∠A = 84°, m∠B = 96°
5. If two angle measures have a sum of 180°, then the two angles are supplementary.
6. If two angles are not supplementary, then their measures do not sum to 180°.
7. Proof:
- ∠ABD and ∠CBD are right angles (Given)
- m∠ABD = 90°, m∠CBD = 90° (Definition of right angle)
- m∠1 + m∠2 = 90°, m∠3 + m∠4 = 90° (Angle Addition Postulate)
- m∠1 = m∠2 (Given)
- m∠2 + m∠2 = 90° → 2m∠2 = 90° → m∠2 = 45°
- m∠1 = 45°
- m∠3 + m∠4 = 90° and m∠3 = m∠4 (Given)
- m∠4 + m∠4 = 90° → 2m∠4 = 90° → m∠4 = 45°
- m∠3 = 45°
- Therefore, m∠3 = m∠4 = 45° (Proven)
