5-5 Indirect Proof Fun Geometry Logic with DLB
Writing an Indirect Proof • Temporarilyassumethe opposite of what you are trying to prove. • Reason directly until you find a contradiction of a known fact. • Conclude that the assumption must be false, therefore what you want to prove must be true. • (HINT: Use the underlined words when writing your proof.)
