Leap years are years in which February has 29 days instead of 28. The device of leap year was invented to keep the calendar in sync with the "True time of year" because a year has approximately 3651/4 days, but actually slightly less, most, but not all, years divisible by 4 have been made leap years. The rule that is used to keep the calendar in sync is:

As you know, a year has around 365 + 1/4 days.

This means that in two years, we have:

365 + 356 + 1/4 + 1/4 = 730 + 1/2

and so on.

adding this up, when we have 4 years we have a full day extra, this is:

1460 + 1

When we divide 1461 by 4, we have 365 with a surpass of 1.

The rule used to keep the calendar in sync with this extra day is adding an extra day to each fourth year.

So each fourth year, we have an extra day in Februray (the Februray 29th), this is called a bisiest year.

The "math rule" used to know if a year is leap or not is:

if a year is not divisible by 4, then it is a common year

else if the year is not divisible by 100 then it is a leap year,

else if the year is not divisible by 400, then it is a common year

if not, the year is a leap year.

Where "year" represents the number of the year.

statement #3: proof- ang is congruent to ang ecd : angles are congruent.  

step-by-step explanation:

1: the missing angles in statement #3  

a.) acb  

reason- the reason why the answer is acb is because angle ecd and angle acb are both the same size *that's what the word congruent means this is really simple.  

2: the missing word in reason #3  

c.) vertical  

reason- the reason why the answer is vertical is because the angles in that diagram on figure 2 is slanted, which is vertical, and the e and a both lay on vertical lines. along with the other's, but e and a are the 2 main points you want to focus on. and c is kind of like your starting point, because c is for both angles, not just one.  

i hope that was and understanding.
