a. The measures of the angles ∠2and ∠4are 153°and 153° respectively.

b. The measures of the angles ∠2and ∠4are 180-x°and180-x° respectively.

c. Yes, if the two angles are congruent, then their supplements must be congruent.

Step by step solution

01

Part a. Step 1. Definition of the supplementary angles.

The supplementary angles are the angles whose sum is 180°.

02

Part a. Step 2. Find the measure of the angle ∠2.

As the angles∠1 and∠2 are the supplementary angles, therefore the sum of the angles∠1 and∠2 is 180°.

∠1+∠2=18027+∠2=180∠2=180-27∠2=153

Therefore, the measure of the angle∠2 is 153°.

03

Part a. Step 3. Find the measure of the angle ∠4.

As the angles∠3 and∠4 are the supplementary angles, therefore the sum of the angles∠3 and∠4 is 180°.

∠3+∠4=18027+∠4=180∠4=180-27∠4=153

Therefore, the measure of the angle∠4 is 153°.

04

Part b. Step 1. Definition of the supplementary angles.

The supplementary angles are the angles whose sum is 180°.

05

Part b. Step 2. Find the measure of the angle ∠2.

As the angles∠1 and∠2 are the supplementary angles, therefore the sum of the angles∠1 and∠2 is 180°.

∠1+∠2=180x+∠2=180∠2=180-x

Therefore, the measure of the angle∠2 is 180-x°.

06

Part b. Step 3. Find the measure of the angle ∠4.

As the angles∠3 and∠4 are the supplementary angles, therefore the sum of the angles∠3 and∠4 is 180°.

∠3+∠4=180x+∠4=180∠4=180-x

Therefore, the measure of the angle∠4 is 180-x°.

07

Part c. Step 1. Definition of the supplementary angles.

The supplementary angles are the angles whose sum is 180°.

08

Part c. Step 2. Write the relation between the angles∠1 and ∠2.

As the angles ∠1and ∠2are the supplementary angles, therefore the sum of the angles ∠1and ∠2is 180°.

∠1+∠2=1801

09

Part c. Step 3. Write the relation between the angles ∠3 and ∠4.

As the angles ∠3and ∠4are the supplementary angles, therefore the sum of the angles ∠3and ∠4is 180°.

∠3+∠4=1802

10

Part c. Step 4. Description of step.

Subtract the equation (2) from equation (1).

∠1+∠2-∠3+∠4=180-180∠1+∠2-∠3-∠4=03

11

Part c. Step 5. Description of step.

Consider the two angles∠1 and∠3 be congruent angles.

Therefore, ∠1=∠3.

Substitute the above values in the equation (3).

∠1+∠2-∠3-∠4=0∠1+∠2-∠1-∠4=0∠2-∠4=0∠2=∠4

As, the angles ∠2and ∠4have same measure therefore the angles ∠2and ∠4are congruent angles.

12

Part c. Step 6. Write the conclusion.

The angles ∠2and ∠4are supplements of the angles ∠1and ∠3respectively.

The angles ∠1and ∠3are congruent angles then the angles ∠2and ∠4are also congruent angles.

Therefore, if the angles are congruent then the supplements of the angles are also congruent.
