Statement: Angle 5 is congruent to angle 7. Prove: Angle 5 is congruent to angle 8.

I honestly don't even know where to start with this one.

I honestly don't know where to start either since you do not provide sufficient information.

I agree with Mark. I think you’re missing a diagram.

Hello Eric,

My guess is this a transversal question where there is a set of parallel lines with another line cutting through.


If this is the case: congruent means IDENTICAL which means 5 and 7 have the same measurement. These two angles would be diagonal to each other.


The angles for '1,3,5,7' are the same as '2,4,6,8' so 6 is congruent to 8 just as 5 is congruent to 7.


This is all based on a million questions just like this I have seen while teaching =-)
