Can someone asap daryl wrote the following proof to prove that alternate interior angles 3 and 5 are congruent. he made two errors in the proof. identify and correct the errors. steps statements justification 1. pq || rs by given2. angle 1 ≅ angle 3 by vertical angle postulate 3. angle 6 ≅ angle 8 by vertical angle postulate 4. angle 1 ≅ angle 8 by exterior angle postulate 5. angle 3 ≅ angle 5 by transitive property of equality

The errors are in steps 4 and 5. Step 4 would be that angle 1 is supplementary to angle 8, and step 5 would be that angles 3 and 5 are congruent because they are alternate interior angles.

5=812a+9+3

step 1: simplify both sides of the equation.

5=812a+9+3

5=(812a)+(9+3)(combine like terms)

5=812a+12

5=812a+12

step 2: flip the equation.

812a+12=5

step 3: subtract 12 from both sides.

812a+12−12=5−12

812a=−7

step 4: divide both sides by 812.

812a /812 = -7/812

a= -1/116

so the answer is

a=   -1/116
