Proofs Worksheet #1
On a separate paper, write a two-column proof for each problem 1-5. Follow the plan provided for help.

1. Given: RT SU
Prove: RS = TU

Plan: Use the definition of congruent segments to write the given information in terms of lengths. Next
use the Segment Addition Postulate to write RT in terms of RS + ST and SU as ST + TU. Substitute
those into the given information and use the Subtraction Property of Equality to eliminate ST and leave
RS = TU.

2. Given: m5 = 47
Prove: m 6 = 133

T
M

6 5
U

Plan: Use the Linear Pair Theorem to show that 5 and 6 are supplementary. Then use the
definition of supplementary angles to show that their measures add up to 180. Finally use substitution
and then subtraction to arrive at the Prove statement.

3. Given: AB = BC
BC = BD
Prove: B is the midpoint of AD

B
C

Plan: Write the Given information and use the transitive property to show that AB=BD. Then use
the definition of congruence to show that the segments are congruent and the definition of midpoint to
finish the proof.

4. Given: l bisects MN at P
Prove: MP = PN

l
Plan: Use the definition of bisect to show the two smaller segments are congruent. Then use the
definition of congruence to show that their lengths are equal.

5. Given: 1 and  2 are supplementary;

1 3
Prove: 3 and  2 are supplementary

Plan: Use the definition of supplementary angles and congruent angles to write the given information
in terms of angle measures. Next use substitution to show that m3 + m 2 = 180 . Then use the
definition of supplementary angles for the conclusion.
