asked 11/16/15I need to solve a 2 column proof.
So here is the situation: I have to give the statement and the reason to end up with the Proof. It is a 2 column proof and i'm supposed to be able to use any possible reason and i know one of them is "Definition of Supplementary Angles" but dunno the rest.
Given:
∠1 and ∠2 are supplementary angles.
∠3 and ∠4 are supplementary angles.
∠1 ≅∠4
Prove:
∠2 ≅ ∠3
I'm not too sure how to do this equation so if anyone can reply that will be greatly appreciated! :D

∠1 and ∠2 are supplementary angles Given
∠3 and ∠4 are supplementary angles Given
m∠1 + m∠2 = 180 Definition of Supplementary Angles
m∠3 + m∠4 = 180 Definition of Supplementary Angles
m∠1 + m∠2 = m∠3 + m∠4 Transference Property of Equality
∠1 ≈ ∠4 Given
m∠1 = m∠4 Definition of Congruence
m∠1 + m∠2 = m∠3 + m∠1 Substitution
m∠2 = m∠3 Subtraction Property of Equality
∠2 ≈ ∠3 Definition of Congruence

Even if you are not able to draw it you will need to describe the figure and how these angles are set up on the figure, (for instance, lines that intersect to form these angles.)
