Justification One of the main reasons to study Geometry is to learn how to prove things. The whole business of math is proving things. To prove things in math you must be able to justify everything with legitimate reasons. Our reasons include: postulates, definitions and algebra properties.

Geometry 2.4 Reasoning with Algebra Properties
Example Solve 3x + 12 = 8x – 18 and write a reason for each step. 3x + 12 = 8x – 18 Given 3x – 8x + 12 – 12 = 8x – 8x – 18 – 12 Subtraction Property –5x = –30 Simplify –5x/(–5) = –30/(–5) Division Property x = 6 Simplify September 21, 2018 Geometry 2.4 Reasoning with Algebra Properties

Another Example (w/o intermediate steps)
Solve x+2(x – 3) = 5x + 2 x + 2(x – 3) = 5x + 2 Given x + 2x – 6 = 5x + 2 Distributive Prop. 3x – 6 = 5x + 2 Simplify 3x = 5x + 8 Addition Prop. –2x = 8 Subtraction Prop. x = – 4 Division Prop. September 21, 2018 Geometry 2.4 Reasoning with Algebra Properties

Properties in Geometry
Segment Length Angle Measure Reflexive AB = AB mA = mA If mA = mB, then mB = mA Symmetric If AB = CD, then CD = AB If mA = mB, and mB = mC, then mA = mC If AB = CD, and CD = EF, then AB = EF Transitive These properties are all listed on page 94.

Before we do a proof… Given Any geometry proof must begin with information that we know is true. This will be given to us as a place to start, so it is called the “given”. There can be one or more givens in a problem. September 21, 2018 Geometry 2.4 Reasoning with Algebra Properties

Using Geometry Properties
AC = BD. Prove that AB = CD. A B C D AC = BD Given AB + BC = AC BC + CD = BD Seg. Add. Post Seg. Add. Post AB + BC = BC + CD Substitution AB = CD Subtraction September 21, 2018 Geometry 2.4 Reasoning with Algebra Properties

Geometry 2.4 Reasoning with Algebra Properties
This is “Proof”. If you feel uncomfortable and confused, that’s normal. Everyone is confused with proof at first. There is only one way to learn proof: PRACTICE. You have to know the properties, postulates and definitions. You must diligently practice by doing the homework every night – NO EXCUSES. You learn by making mistakes. Everyone does.

Geometry 2.4 Reasoning with Algebra Properties
Proof is essential. Proof is a mandatory part of higher math. If you plan on going to college and/or taking more advanced math you must prove things. Geometry is the place to learn to do this. We will do proofs until the end of the year. Don’t fight it, they are not going to go away. September 21, 2018 Geometry 2.4 Reasoning with Algebra Properties
