B
A.
Statements
Reasons
1) Draw XY through B and
1) There is exactly one line through
a point not on a given line that is
parallel to the given line.
2) definition of a linear pair
parallel to AC.
2) ZXBA and ZABY form a linear pair.
3) mZXBA + m ZABY = 180
3) The sum of the measures of the
angles in a linear pair is 180°.
4) angle addition postulate
5) substitution
4) MZABC +m ZCBY = MZABY
5) MZXBA + m ZABC + m ZCBY = 180
6) ZCBY = ZBCA and
ZXBA = ZBẠC
6)
7) definition of congruent angles
7) mZCBY = m ZBCA and
m ZXBA = MZBAC
8) substitution
8) MZBAC +MZABC + mZBCA = 180
MAD
