  2. LET’S GET STARTED • Before we begin, let’s see how much you already know. • In your print materials there is a Entry-Test. • Complete it now.

  3. CHECK YOURSELF SECTION 3 1. Congruence 2. Perpendicular 3. Equal 4. Parallel 5. Angle 6. Triangle 7. Line Segment AB 8. Measure of Angle SECTION 1 1. AC  AB 2. C  B 3. Isosceles Triangle SECTION 2 1. AB  CD 2. AB  BE 3. Right Triangle

  4. HOW DID YOU DO? • Excellent - 12 - 14 correct • Great - 10 -12 correct • Good - 8 - 10 correct If you fall into any of these categories… continue to next page.

  5. What do you need to know in order to complete a proof? • Apply Geometric Marking Symbols • Identify Geometric Postulates, Definitions, and Theorems. • Identify Two-Column Proof Method.

  6. How do you mark a figure? Angles- using arcs on each angle. example:1  2 A Segments- using slash marks on each segment. example: AB  AC 1 2 B C

  7. Parallel Lines – using an arrow on each line. example: AD || BC A D Perpendicular lines – using a right angle box. example: AB  BC B C

  8. What Postulates and Theorems are used to prove Triangles Congruent? • SSS Postulate - If the sidesof one triangle are congruent to the sides of another triangle, then the triangles are congruent. • SAS Postulate - If two sides and the included angle of one triangle are congruent to two sides and the included angle of another triangle, then the triangles are congruent. SSS SAS

  9. ASA Postulate - If two angles and the included side of one triangle are congruent to two angles and the included side of another triangle, then the triangles are congruent. • AAS Theorem - If two angles and a non includedside are congruent to the corresponding two angles and side of another triangle, then the triangles are congruent. ASA AAS

  10. What is the Two-Column Proof Method? • Let’s take the following paragraph proof and transform it into a two-column proof….

  11. Two – Column Proof Given: E is the midpoint of segment AC and segment BD Prove: ABE  CED. Statements Justifications D A 1. E is the midpoint of AC and BD 1. Given 2. AE  EC and BE  ED 2. Midpoint Theorem E B C . Paragraph Proof Since E is the midpoint of segment AC, segment AE is congruent to EC by midpoint theorem. Since E is the midpoint of segment BD, segment BE is congruent to segment ED by midpoint theorem. Angle AEB and angle CED are vertical angles by definition. Therefore angle AEB is congruent to angle CED because all vertical angles are congruent. Triangle ABE is congruent to triangle CED by the side-angle-side postulate. 3. AEB and CED are vertical angles. 3. Definition of Vertical Angles 4. AEBCED 4. All Vertical angles are congruent. 5. ABE  CED 5. SAS Postulate.

  12. What Have We Learned So Far? • The symbols used to mark figures. Arcs, Slashes, Arrows, and Boxes • The Postulates and Theorems used to prove triangles are congruent. SSS, SAS, ASA, and AAS • What a Two-Column proof looks like. Column 1 is mathematical statements. Column 2 is justifications of those statements.
