3) Refer to Theorem 5-B and the figure shown below to answer the following questions: If the measure of angle QPR = 23 degrees and the measure of angle NPQ = 48 degrees, (a) what is the measure of angle NPR and (b) what is the measure of angle QPS?

Now you will take an in-depth look at the proof for Theorem 5-B. Study the proof for Theorem 5-A found in the unit link to “Addition Properties”. The proof for Theorem 5-A will serve as a good model for completing the proof of Theorem 5-B below. First, copy or print the partially completed proof, complete the proof, and then answer the next five questions.

Select the reasons from the following list: “Substitution Property of Equality”, “Definition of Congruence”, Angle Addition (Postulate 1-B)”, “Addition Property of Equality”. Some reasons may be used more than once.

4) What is the reason for statement #2?
