Geometry. 2.3 Proving Theorems. Intro. Theorems are statements that are proved. They are deduced from postulates, statements that are accepted without proof. POE’s are treated as postulates Deductive Reasoning uses postulates defn .’s, thm .’s, and given information.

  1. Geometry 2.3 Proving Theorems

  2. Intro • Theorems are statements that are proved. • They are deduced from postulates, statements that are accepted without proof. • POE’s are treated as postulates • Deductive Reasoning uses postulates defn.’s, thm.’s, and given information. Hint: deductive = definition

  3. 4 Reasons Used in Proofs • Given Information • Defn.’s • Postulates(POE’s) • Theorems from yesterday i.e.(that is) theorems that have been proven

  4. Midpoint Thm. • If M is the midpoint of , then AM = (1/2)AB and MB = (1/2)AB How is this different from the midpoint defn.? Key: The midpoint theorem uses ½. A . M . B .

  5. Statements M is the midpoint of AM = MB AM + MB = AB AM + AM = AB or 2AM = AB AM = (1/2)AB MB = (1/2)AB Now that the Midpoint Thm. has been proven, it may be used as a reason in a proof! Reasons Given Defn. of Midpoint Segment Add. Post. Substitution (Steps 2 & 3) Division POE Substitution (Steps 2 & 5) Proof of the Midpoint Theorem G: M is the midpoint of P: AM = (1/2)AB; MB = (1/2)AB A . M . B .

  6. Midpoint Defn. versus Midpoint Thm.(uses ½) . A . Y . B • If Y is the midpoint of , …then what is true by the reason of midpoint defn.? Answer: AY = YB …then what is true by the reason of midpoint thm.? Answer: AY = (1/2)AB or YB = (1/2)AB

  7. Angle Bisector Them. • If BX is the bisector of , then How is this different from the angle bisector defn.? Key: The theorem uses ½. . A . X . C B .

  8. Angle Bisector Thm. Versus the Angle Bisector Defn. • If BX is the bisector of , then is true by the reason of __________? Answer: Angle Bisector Defn. • If BX is the bisector of , then is true by the reason of __________? Answer:Angle Bisector Thm. . A . X . C B.

  9. Angle Add. Post. Segment Add. Post. Angle Add. Post. Midpoint Defn. Midpoint Thm. Segment Bisector Defn. Segment Bisector Defn. Angle Bisector Thm.
