Exercise 5 Page 483

The square that occupies tells us it is a right angle and thus Since this angle forms a linear pair with they are supplementary angles, and add up to Therefore, by the Right Angles Congruence Theorem, also has to be

Since these angles have the same measure, they are congruent:
Finally, we also see that and as well as and forms opposite rays.
Therefore, by the Vertical Angles Congruence Theorem, we can conclude that
