Given: m∠A + m∠B = m∠B + m∠CProve: m∠C = m∠AWrite a paragraph proof to prove the statement.

Answer:

It is given that m∠A m∠B m∠B m∠C. According to the subtraction property of equality, the same value can be subtracted from both sides of an equation without changing the equality. By subtracting m∠B from both sides of the equation, the result is m∠A m∠C. By the symmetric property of equality, if m∠A m∠C, then m∠C m∠A.

Name the three different types of proofs you saw in this lesson. Give a description of each.

Answer:

One type of proof is a twocolumn proof. It contains statements and reasons in columns. Another type is a paragraph proof, in which statements and reasons are written in words. A third type is a flowchart proof, which uses a diagram to show the steps of a proof.

12

Describe the main parts of a proof.

Answer:

Proofs contain given information and a statement to be proven. You use deductive reasoning to create an argument with justification of steps using theorems, postulates, and definitions. Then you arrive at a conclusion.
