Proving Statements About segments What is the difference between congruence and equality?
Building a Proof • When writing a proof, you can only use facts that have previously been proved (theorems), facts that are assumed true without proof (postulates), and definitions. • Proofs can be written in paragraph form or in a two-column form. • We will use two-column form most often.
Two-Column Proofs: Key Elements • Given: state the “given” facts • Diagram: a figure that shows what is given • Prove: a statement of what you have to prove • Statements: (Left Column) numbered logical statements that lead to your conclusion • Reasons: (Right Column) numbered reasons that justify your statements (definitions, postulates, properties of algebra/congruence, previously proven theorems)
Properties of Equality (review) • These two properties are often interchangeable: • Substitution Prop. of Equality: If a=b, then we can substitute (plug in) a for b, or b for a. • If x+a=c AND a=b, then x+b=c (Plug it in, plug it in!) • Transitive Prop. of Equality: If a=b & b=c, then a=c. • If Mr. Madden is the same height as Simon, and Simon is the same height a Bradley, then Mr. Madden and Bradley are the same height. =)
Properties of Equality (review cont.) • Mirror, mirror, on the wall… • Reflexive Prop. of Equality: a=a • Anything is equal to itself (Think about your reflection in the mirror!) • Symmetric Property of Equality: If a=b, then b=a. • Think about something symmetrical… if you flip it, it still looks the same. You can always flip an equation, Left to Right. (Flip it good!)
Properties of Congruence • These 3 properties work for congruence also: • Reflexive: For any segment AB, AB ≅ AB. • Symmetric: If AB ≅ CD, then CD ≅ AB. • Transitive: If AB ≅ CD & CD ≅ EF, then AB ≅ EF.
Given: AB = BC, C is the midpoint of BD Prove: AB = CD • AB = BC, • C is the midpoint of BD • Given • Def. Midpoint • BC = CD • AB = CD • Substitution

Given:LE = RM, EG = AR Prove: LG = MA LE = RM and EG = AR Given AR+RM=AM Segment addition LE+EG=LG Segment addition RM+AR=LG Substitution LG = MA Substitution
Example 5: Using Segment Relationships • In the diagram, Q is the midpoint of PR. Show that PQ and QR are equal to ½ PR. • GIVEN: Q is the midpoint of PR. • PROVE: PQ = ½ PR and QR = ½ PR.
Q is the midpoint of PR. PQ = QR PQ + QR = PR PQ + PQ = PR 2 ∙ PQ = PR PQ = ½ PR QR = ½ PR Given Definition of a midpoint Segment Addition Postulate Substitution Property Distributive property Division property Substitution Statements: Reasons:
