From

m∠1 = m∠4  

m∠1 + m∠2 = m∠3 + m∠4

m∠2 = m∠3                                                Identity property

∠2 ≅ ∠3                                                     Equal angles are congruent

Step-by-step explanation:

Given                                                                            Reason

∠1 and ∠2 are supplementary                 Given

Therefore;

m∠1 + m∠2 = 180°                                     Supplementary ∠s sum up to 180°

∠3 and ∠4 are supplementary                 Given

Therefore;

m∠3 + m∠4 = 180°                                     Supplementary ∠s sum up to 180°

From which we have;

m∠1 + m∠2 = 180° = m∠3 + m∠4            Transitive property

m∠1 + m∠2 = m∠3 + m∠4

∠1 ≅ ∠4                                                       Given

m∠1 = m∠4                                                  Congruent ∠s have equal measure

Therefore;

m∠1 + m∠2 = m∠3 + m∠1                         Transitive property

Therefore;

m∠1 + m∠2 - m∠1= m∠3 + m∠1 - m∠1       Subtraction property

m∠1 - m∠1 + m∠2 = m∠3 + m∠1 - m∠1      

0 + m∠2 = m∠3 + 0                                   Inverse property

Therefore;

m∠2 = m∠3                                                Identity property

∠2 ≅ ∠3                                                     Equal angles are congruent.

answer: two angles are called supplementary if they add up to 180°. example: the two angles (140° and 40°) are supplementary because they add up to 180°.
