Using Different Styles of Proofs Coordinate proof Paragraph proof Flow proof Two Column proof
Reasons in a proof Given Definition Properties Postulates Theorems Constructions
Two-Column Proof This type of proof is written using one column of statements and one column of reasons. Given: AC = AB + AB Prove: AB = BC A B C STATEMENT | REASON |
More Two-Column Proofs D Given: m1 = m 3 Prove: mEBA = m DBC C A 1 3 2 STATEMENT | REASON |
