  1. Chapter 2 Properties from Algebra Objective: To connect reasoning in Algebra & Geometry

  2. Objectives Review properties of equality and use them to write algebraic and geometric proofs. Identify properties of equality and congruence.

  3. In Geometry you accept postulates & properties as true. • You use Deductive Reasoning to prove other statements. • In Algebra you accept the Properties of Equality as true also.

  4. Algebra Properties of Equality • Addition Property: • If a = b, then a + c = b + c • Subtraction Property: • If a = b, then a – c = b – c • Multiplication Property: • If a = b, then a • c = b • c • Division Property: • If a = b, then a/c = b/c (c ≠ 0)

  5. More Algebra Properties • Reflexive Property: • a = a (A number is equal to itself) • Symmetric Property: • If a = b, then b = a • Transitive Property: • If a = b & b = c, then a =c

  6. 2 more Algebra Properties • Substitution Properties: (Subs.) • If a = b, then “b” can replace “a” anywhere • Distributive Properties: • a(b +c) = ab + ac

  7. A proof is an argument that uses logic, definitions, properties, and previously proven statements to show that a conclusion is true. An important part of writing a proof is giving justifications to show that every step is valid.

  8. 3x + 5 = 20 -5 -5 3x = 15 3 3 x = 5 5 = x 1. Given Statement 2. Subtr. Prop 3. Division Prop 4. Symmetric Prop Example 1: Algebra Proof

  9. Statements 1. mAOC = 139, mAOB = x, mBOC = 2x + 10 2. mAOC = mAOB + mBOC 3. 139 = x + 2x + 10 4. 139 = 3x + 10 5. 129 = 3x 6. 43 = x 7. x = 43 Reasons 1. Given 2.  Addition Prop. 3. Subs. Prop. 4. Addition Prop 5. Subtr. Prop. 6. Division Prop. 7. Symmetric Prop. Example 2 :  Addition ProofGiven: mAOC = 139Prove: x = 43 A B x (2x + 10) C O

  10. Statements AB=4+2x, BC=15 – x, AC=21 AC = AB + BC 21 = 4 + 2x + 15 – x 21 = 19 + x 2 = x x = 2 Reasons Given Segment Add. Prop. Subst. Prop. Combined Like Term. Subtr. Prop. Symmetric Prop. Example 3:Segment Addition ProofGiven: AB = 4 + 2x BC = 15 – x AC = 21Prove: x = 2 A 15 – x C 4 + 2x B

  11. You learned in Chapter 1 that segments with equal lengths are congruent and that angles with equal measures are congruent. So the Reflexive, Symmetric, and Transitive Properties of Equality have corresponding properties of congruence.

  12. Geometry Properties of Congruence • Reflexive Property: AB  AB A  A • Symmetric Prop: If AB  CD, then CD  AB If A  B, then B  A • Transitive Prop: If AB  CD and CD  EF, then AB  EF IF A  B and B  C, then A  C

  13. What did I learn Today? • Name the property for each of the following steps. • P  Q, then Q  P Symmetric Prop • TU  XY and XY  AB, then TU  AB Transitive Prop • DF  DF Reflexive
