Proofs Review
2
What’s in a Proof? Statement of the original problem
Diagram, marked with "Given" information Re-statement of the "Given" information in the proof Complete supporting reasons for each step in the proof The "Prove" statement as the last statement
3
Strategies For most proof problems, it is very helpful to examine the problem backwards -- from the "Prove" statement back to the "Given" information.
4
Where does the conclusion come from?
5
Formal Proof Statements Reasons 1. Given
2. Reflexive Property - a quantity is congruent to itself. 3. SAS: If 2 sides and the include angle one triangle are congruent respectively to 2 sides and the included angles of a second triangle, then the 2 triangles are congruent. 4. CPCTC: Corresponding parts of congruent triangles are congruent. QED
6
Let’s Practice! Look at the following examples of given information and try to come up with some ideas about what conclusions can be drawn from that information.

Unscramble the Proof On the following slide is a proof from the problem below. Unscramble it with your partner. Given: ABCD is a parallelogram Prove: DEFC is a rectangle
8
Statement Reason In a plane, two lines perpendicular to the same line are parallel. DEFC is a parallelogram If both pairs of opposite sides of a quadrilateral are parallel, the quadrilateral is a parallelogram. ABCD is a parallelogram Given Given DEFC is a rectangle If one angle of a parallelogram is a right angle, the parallelogram is a rectangle. <DEB is a right angle Perpendicular lines meet to form right angles. A parallelogram had 2 sets of opposite parallel sides.
