question archive Match the reasons with the statements in the proof to prove ∠RNT = ∠SMT given RT = ST and MT = NTGiven: RT = ST MT = NT To Prove: ∠RNT = ∠SMT 1

Answer:
1. RT=ST, MT=NT -given
2. ∠T=∠T - reflexive property (angle T in triangle RNT is congruent to angle T in triangle SMT)
3. ΔRNT=ΔSMT - SAS (two sides and included angle in triangle RNT are congruent to two sides and included angle in triangle SMT)
4. ∠RNT=∠SMT - CPCTE (Corresponding Parts of Congruent Triangles are Equal)
The reflexive property of equality simply states that a value is equal to itself.
SAS: Triangles are congruent if any pair of corresponding sides and their included angles are equal in both triangles.
