THIS IS WORTH 15 POINTS BECAUSE OF IMPROPER ANWSERS FOR POINTS BUT WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST IF CORRECT

Henry and Amy provide the following proofs for vertical angles to be equal:


A line PQ is shown cut by a transversal t. 1, 2, 3, 4 are marked clockwise as the four angles formed by the transversal on the


Henry's proof: angle 2 + angle 3=180° (t is a straight line)

angle 1 + angle 2 = 180° (PQ is a straight line)

Therefore, angle 1 + angle 2 = angle 2 + angle 3 (Transitive Property of Equality)

Hence, angle 1 = angle 3 (Subtraction Property of Equality)


Amy's proof: angle 1 + angle 2 + angle 3 + angle 4 = 360°

Therefore, angle 1 + angle 4 = 180° (t is a straight line)

Hence, angle 4 = angle 2 (Transitive Property of Equality)

B. Only Amy's proof is correct.

C. Only Henry's proof is correct.

Answer:

  C. Only Henry's proof is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Amy's "proof" leaves out the steps that Henry's proof puts in. Only Henry's proof is correct.

__

Amy's proof has no reasoning to support her "therefore ..." and no reasoning to support her conclusion that angles 4 and 2 are equal. Nothing in her proof supports her conclusion that the transitive property of equality can be applied.
