Transcribed Image Text:2.5 Day 1 Assignment: Give the reason for each of the
following statements and draw a picture representing the
situation.
1) B is between A and C so AB + BC = AC
2) If AB = DC, AB=DC
3) Angles ZAOC and 2COD are adjacent so MZAOC + MZCOD = mZAOD
4) ZABC is a right angle so mZABC = 90
5) ZAND and ZDNC are a linear pair so MZAND + mZDNC = 180
6) ZDOG and ZCAT are complementary so MZDOG + MZCAT = 90
7) X is the midpoint of AE so AX ± XE
8) ZAMY and ZRMT are vertical angles so ZAMY ZRMT
9) ZBOK and ZREL are supplementary so mZBOK + MZREL = 180
