Ashley is solving for the missing angles below. The given information is that ∠1=136°. Her conjecture is that ∠4 is congruent to ∠1 and she will be able use that to solve for the other missing angles. To solve for the missing angles, she first identifies that ∠4 is a vertical angle to ∠1, so it measures as 136° as well.

Question

Ashley is solving for the missing angles below. The given information is that ∠1=136°. Her conjecture is that ∠4 is congruent to ∠1 and she will be able use that to solve for the other missing angles. To solve for the missing angles, she first identifies that ∠4 is a vertical angle to ∠1, so it measures as 136° as well. To find ∠2 and ∠3 she identifies them as supplementary pairs to ∠1 and ∠4. She concludes then that ∠2 and ∠3 both measure at 44°. Did Ashley use inductive or deductive reasoning to reach her conclusion?
