2-6 Geometric Proof

When writing a proof, it is important to justify each


logical step with a reason. You can use symbols and
abbreviations, but they must be clear enough so that
anyone who reads your proof will understand them.

• Definitions
Hypothesis
• Postulates Conclusion
• Properties
• Theorems

Helpful Hint
When a justification is based on more than the
previous step, you can note this after the reason,
as in Example 1 Step 3.

A theorem is any statement that you can


prove. Once you have proven a theorem, you
can use it as a reason in later proofs.

A geometric proof begins with Given and Prove


statements, which restate the hypothesis and
conclusion of the conjecture. In a two-column
proof, you list the steps of the proof in the left
column. You write the matching reason for each
step in the right column.

Before you start writing a proof, you should plan


out your logic. Sometimes you will be given a plan
for a more challenging proof. This plan will detail
the major steps of the proof for you.

If a diagram for a proof is not provided, draw
your own and mark the given information on it.
But do not mark the information in the Prove
