Theorem 2.2: Angle Congruence Angle congruence is reflexive, symmetric and transitive. Examples Reflexive: ABC ABC Symmetric: If A B, then B A Transitive: If A B, and B C, then A C The proofs are similar to those for segment congruence June 1, 2018 Geometry 2.6 Proving Geometric Relationships

Theorem 2.3 Right Angle Conguence All Right Angles are congruent. (This should be obvious: all right angles measure 90° and so they all have the same measure and hence are congruent. We won’t prove this.) All Rt s June 1, 2018 Geometry 2.6 Proving Geometric Relationships
Theorem 2.4 Congruent Supplements Theorem If two angles are supplementary to the same angle, or to congruent angles, then they are congruent. supp Example mA + mB = 180° mA + mC = 180° Thus, B C. They are both supplementary to the same angle, A. June 1, 2018 Geometry 2.6 Proving Geometric Relationships
Theorem 2.5 Congruent Complements Theorem If two angles are complementary to the same angle, or to congruent angles, then the angles are congruent. comp Example mR + mS = 90° mT + mS = 90° Thus, R T R and T are complementary to the same angle, S.
