Revolt · Accepted Answer

C: given

Question 4

Describe the main parts of a proof.

Revolt · Accepted Answer

A mathematical proof typically consists of several main parts: the 'Given' statement, which provides the known information; the 'Prove' statement, which describes the conclusion to be reached; a diagram to visually represent the problem; and a series of logical steps composed of 'Statements' and 'Reasons'. Each statement must be supported by a reason, such as a definition, postulate, property, or previously proven theorem.

Question 5

Complete the paragraph proof. We are given that bisects ∠AEC. From the diagram, ∠CED is a right angle, which measures degrees. Since the measure of a straight angle is 180°, the measure of angle must also be 90° by the. A bisector cuts the angle measure in half. m∠AEB is 45°.

Revolt · Accepted Answer

Selection 1: 90; Selection 2: AEC; Selection 3: angle addition postulate

Question 6

Given: ∠ABC is a right angle and ∠DEF is a right angle. Prove: All right angles are congruent by showing that ∠ABC ≅∠DEF. What are the missing reasons in the steps of the proof? A: B: C:

Revolt · Accepted Answer

A: definition of right angle

Question 7

Identify the missing parts in the proof. Given: ∠ABC is a right angle. DB bisects ∠ABC. Prove: m∠CBD = 45° A: B: C: D:

D: given

Question 8

Name the three different types of proofs you saw in this lesson. Give a description of each.

Revolt · Accepted Answer

One type of proof is a two-column proof. It contains statements and reasons in columns. Another type is a paragraph proof, in which statements and reasons are written in words. A third type is a flowchart proof, which uses a diagram to show the steps of a proof.
