Question 5 • Geometry: Concepts and Connections

A paragraph proof

Answer
A
uses a visual chart of the logical flow of steps needed to reach a conclusion.
B
contains a set of sentences explaining the steps needed to reach a conclusion.
C
contains a table with a logical series of statements and reasons.
D
uses inductive reasoning to prove a statement.

Explanation

A paragraph proof presents a logical argument in sentences, explaining each step from the given information to the conclusion. Therefore, choice B, “contains a set of sentences explaining the steps needed to reach a conclusion,” describes a paragraph proof. A chart or a table may organize a proof differently, and a paragraph proof is not defined by using inductive reasoning.
