  1. 2.6 Algebraic Proof

  2. Objectives • Use algebra to write two-column proofs • Use properties of equality in geometry proofs

  3. ALGEBRAIC PROPERTIES OF EQUALITY Reflexive Property a = a. Symmetric Property If a = b, then b = a. Addition Property of Equality If a = b, then a + c = b + c. Subtraction Property of Equality If a = b, then a – c = b – c. Multiplication Property of Equality If a = b, then ac = bc. Division Property of Equality If a = b, then a/c = b/c. Transitive Property of Equality If a = b and b = c, then a = c. Distributive Property a(b + c) = ab + ac. Substitution Property of Equality If a = b, then you may replace b with a in any expression. WE USE THE PROPERTIES TO JUSTIFY ALGEBRAIC STEPS AND SOLVE PROBLEMS. THIS IS DEDUCTIVE REASONING.

  8. Two-Column Proof • Two-Column Proof – A proof format used in geometry in which an argument is presented with two columns, statementsand reasons, to prove conjectures and theorems are true. Also referred to as a formal proof.

  17. Geometric Proof • Since geometry also uses variables, numbers, and operations, many of the algebraic properties of equality are true in geometry. For example:            

  18. MULTIPLE-CHOICE TEST ITEM If and then which of the following is a valid conclusion? I II III A I only B I and II C I and III D I, II, and III Example 3: Read the Test Item Determine whether the statements are true based on the given information.

  19. Statement I:Examine the given information, GHJKST and . From the definition of congruence of segments, if , then STRP. You can substitute RP for ST in GHJKST to get GHJK RP. Thus, Statement I is true. Statement II:Since the order you name the endpoints of a segment is not important, and TS = PR. Thus, Statement II is true. Example 3: Solve the Test Item

  20. Statement IIIIf GHJKST, then . Statement III is not true. Example 3: Because Statements I and II only are true, choice B is correct. Answer: B

  21. MULTIPLE- CHOICE TEST ITEM If and then which of the following is a valid conclusion? I. II. III. A I only B I and II C I and III D II and III Your Turn: Answer: C
