Writing Proofs During this lesson, you will: Write reasons for statements Write simple geometric proofs using properties of equations
Recall: Properties of Equations Addition: If a = b, then a + c = b + c, for all real numbers a, b, and c. Subtraction: If a = b, then a - c = b - c, for all real numbers a, b, and c. Multiplication: If a = b, then a ∙ c = b ∙ c, for all real numbers a, b, and c. Division: If a = b, then a/c = b/c.
Example 1 What reason can you give for the following conclusion? If m ∠ AOB = m ∠ COD, then m ∠ AOB + m ∠ BOC = m ∠ BOC + m ∠ COD Addition Property of Equality ?
Example 2 What reason can you give for the following conclusion? If 2 (m ∠ P )= 80, then m ∠ P = 40. Division Property of Equality
Example 3 What conclusion can you draw based upon the given information? Give a reason for each statement. StatementReason Given.
Example 4 Write a complete proof of the following: Given: m ∠ x = 38; m ∠ y = 38 Prove: x y StatementReason
Example 5 Give a reason for each step in the proof on the following slide. Given: m ∠ AOB + m ∠ BOC = m ∠ BOC + m ∠ COD Prove: ∠ AOB ∠ COD
