1. Geometry Honors – Proofs 1. If D is in the interior of ABC, then m ABD + m DBC = m ABC. 2. If M is between X and Y, then XM + MY = XY.

2. Postulates Remember…. 1. Ruler Postulate 2. Segment Addition Postulate 3. Protractor Postulate 4. Angle Addition Postulate

3. Postulates Postulate 5 – Through any two points there exists exactly one line. Postulate 6 – A line contains at least two points. Postulate 7 – If two lines intersect, then their intersection is exactly one point. Postulate 8 – Through any three noncollinear points there exists exactly one plane. Postulate 9 – A plane contains at least three noncollinear points.

4. Postulates Postulate 10 – If two points lie in a plane, then the line containing them lies in the plane. Postulate 11 – If two planes intersect, then their intersection is a line.

5. Sketching the Given  AEEB Redraw the diagram if the given information also states that

6. Interpret Which of the following statements cannot be assumed from the diagram? All points are coplanar.  CEF   FED  CEF and  FED are a linear pair.

7. Reason Using Properties from Algebra Remember….. 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 ac = bc Division Property? – If a = b and c ≠ 0 then a/c = b/c Substitution Property? – If a = b, then a can be substituted or b in any equation or expression.

8. Write reasons for each step Solve 3x + 8 = -4x - 34. Write a reason for each step. Equation ExplanationReason 3x + 8 = -4x - 34 Write original equation. Given 3x + 8 + 4x = -4x – 34 + 4x Add 4x to each side. Addition Property of Equality 7x + 8 = -34 Combine like terms. Simplify. 7x – 8 = -34 - 8 Subtract 8 from each side. Subtraction Property of Equality x = -6 Divide each side by 7. Division Property of Equality 7x = -42 Combine like terms. Simplify. Combine like terms. Simplify.
