  1. Writing Proofs During this lesson, you will: Write reasons for statements Write simple geometric proofs using properties of equations

  2. 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.

  3. Example1 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

  4. Example2 What reason can you give for the following conclusion? If 2 (m ∠P )= 80, then m ∠P = 40. Division Property of Equality

  5. Example 3 What conclusion can you draw based upon the given information? Give a reason for each statement. Given.

  6. Example4 Write a complete proof of the following: Given: m ∠ x = 38; m ∠ y = 38 Prove: x y

  7. Example5 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

  8. Example5

  9. Example6 1. Draw and label a diagram based upon the given information. 2. Write the missing statements in the proof on the following slide. Directions:

  10. Given: AB ≅ BC, BC ≅ CD, AB = 21Prove: CD = 21 Diagram: A B C D

  11. Final Checks for Understanding On the following slide, statements in the first column are given information. Use these to draw logical conclusion, then justify your reason for each corresponding conclusion.
