  1. Bell Problem • A student at UNLV decided to become his own employer by using his car as a taxi for the summer. It costs the student $693.00 to insure his car for the 4 months of summer. He spends $452.00 per month on gas. If he lives at home and has no other expenses for the 4 months of summer and charges an average of $7.00 per fare, how many fares will he have to get to be able to pay his tuition of $3280.00? 826 Fares

  4. Key Topics • Two column proof (formal proof): a format used to prove statements or conjectures that uses two columns. One column for the statement and one for the reason. • The proof is very similar to the paragraph proof, all the same components, its basically just in outline form. Not complete sentences.

  5. If then d = 3 Prove: d = 3 1. Given 2. Multiplication Property 3. Substitution 4. Subtraction Property 5. Substitution 6. Division Property 7. Substitution 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7.

  6. If then d = 3 Prove: d = 3 1. Given 2. Multiplication Property 3. Subtraction Property 4. Division Property 1. 2. 3. 4.

  7. Key Topics If then p = 1 Write a two column proof:

  8. Key Topics • Since segment measures and angle measures are real numbers, we can use many of the same properties of real numbers

  9. Construct a 2-column proof

  10. Key Topics • If rectangle ABCD has side lengths AD = 3 and AB = 10, then AC = BD. • Construct a two column proof: • Hint : Draw a picture

  11. Key Topics • Homework: Pg. 97, 10 – 30 even
