There is a step missing from the proof. Identify where the proof there is missing and what this step should be.

(these are fill in the blank so for option one it says 1 and 2, 8 and 9, 2 and 3, and 4 and 5.)

(option 2 says because the student did not state the m

(option 3 says This statement is true because of the definition or perpendicular line segments, addition properly of equality, definition of commentary angles, and the final one is angle addition postulate.)

PLEASE HELP !!

Answer (2)

The missing step is between steps 2 and 3 because the student did not state m∠BOC + m∠COD = m∠BOD . This statement is true because of the angle addition postulate . ;

The missing step lies between steps 2 and 3, where it should state that m∠BOC + m∠COD = m∠BOD, justified by the angle addition postulate. This ensures clarity in the logical progression of the proof. Including this step strengthens the argument that complements are related to their respective formed angles.
