Prove Your Proof! UNIT 2
2
Do Now Solve the following one variable equations: ◦4m – 8 = -12 ◦X – 3.5 = 8.7 ◦4x – 7 = 8x + 3 ◦(x+8)/5 = -6 ◦2(x – 5) – 20 = 0
3
Have you ever developed an argument? Talk to your partner about what type of argument you would create to convince your parents/guardians to extend your curfew or increase your allowance
4
Objectives SWBAT form and write algebraic proofs using properties of equality and congruence SWBAT form and write geometric proofs using properties of equality and congruence
5
Proof An argument that uses logic, definitions, properties, and previously proven statements to show that a conclusion is true. Begin with a true statement and show that EACH step is valid in order to get to a valid conclusion.
7
Algebraic Proofs: Solving One Variable Equations Relate problem 1 in the Do Now to the properties of equality 4m – 8 = -12 4m – 8 = –12 Given equation +8 +8 Addition Property of Equality 4m = –4 Simplify. m =–1 Simplify. Division Property of Equality

Algebraic Proofs: Segment Addition Postulate KL + LM = KM X + 3 + 2x – 1 = 5x – 4 3x + 2 = 5x – 4 2 = 2x – 4 6 = 2x 3 = x MLK 2x – 1X + 3 5x – 4 Segment Addition Postulate Substitution property of equality Simplify Subtraction property of equality Addition property of equality Division property of equality

Think-Pair-Compare – Write a justification for each step Given: B is the midpoint of segment AC AB = BC 1. Definition of 5y + 6 = 2y + 212. -2y -2y 3. 3y + 6 = 214. - 6 - 6 5. 3y = 15 3 3 y = 5 CBA 2y + 215y + 6
10
Think-Pair-Compare Solve for x. Write a justification for each step. m ABD + m DBC = m ABC 1. 3x + 5 + 6x – 16 = 8x2. 9x – 11 = 8x 3. -9x - 9x 4. - 11 = - x -1 -1 11 = x
11
Independent Practice Silently and independently complete the algebraic proofs in your guided notes
12
Geometric Proofs A geometric proof begins with Given and Prove statements, which restate the hypothesis and conclusion of the conjecture. In a two-column proof, you list the steps of the proof in the left column. You write the matching reason for each step in the right column.
13
CFU: Which properties of equality have corresponding properties of congruence? How do you decide which to use?
14
Two Column Proof Given: A and B are supplementary and m A = 45. Prove: m<B = 135 StatementsReasons 1. A and B are supplementary. mA = 45 Given information 2. m A + m B = 180° Definition of Supplementary 3. 45 + m B = 180° Substitution property of equality 4. m B = 135° Subtraction property of equality
15
Write a justification for each step of the proof. Given: m A = 60° and m B = 2m A Prove: A and B are supplementary StatementsReasons 1. m A = 60° and m B = 2m A 2. m B = 2(60°) 3. m B = 120° 4. m A + m B = 60 + 120 5. m A + m B = 180 6. A and B are supplementary Given Substitution Simplify Addition Property of Equality Simplify Definition of Supplementary Angles
16
Check For Understanding What is the first piece of information you include in a proof? What should the last statement match up with? In a two column proof, go on the left side and are in the right. List three things you commonly use to justify steps in a proof:
17
Guided Practice Work with your table partner to complete the proofs in your notes Voices at a level 1 Raise your hand if you have a question
18
1. Given: 1 and 2 are supplementary, and 2 and 3 are supplementary. Prove: 1 3 StatementsReasons 1.Given Information 2. m 1 + m2 = 180 m2 + m3 = 180 Definition of supplementary angles 3. m 1 + m2 = m2 + m3 4. m 2 = m2 5. m 1 = m3 Subtraction property of equality 6.Definition of congruent angles
19
Given: ABC is a right angle. 2 3 Proof: 1 and 3 are complementary StatementsReasons 1. ABC is a right angle. 2 3 2. m ABC = 90 3.Angle Addition Postulate 4. m 1 + m 2 = 90 Substitution 5. m 2 = m 3 Definition of congruent angles 6. m 1 + m 3 = 90 7.Definition of complementary angles

Let’s wrap this up! In your own words, define a proof and the process for writing a proof (hint: use Deductive Reasoning in your response!)
