A _______________ is an argument that uses logic, definitions, properties, and previously
proven statements to show that a conclusion is true.
An important part of writing a proof is giving ___________________ to show that every
step is valid.
Example 1: Solving an Equation in Algebra
Solve the equation 4m – 8 = –12. Write a justification for each step.
STATEMENT
REASON
4m – 8 = –12
You Try:
Solve the equation
STATEMENT
1
t  7 . Write a justification for each step.
2
REASON
1
t  7

Like algebra, geometry also uses numbers, variables, and operations. For example, segment
lengths and angle measures are numbers. So you can use these same properties of equality to
write algebraic proofs in geometry.
Example 2: Solving an Equation in Geometry
Write a justification for each step.
STATEMENT
NO = NM + MO
4x – 4 = 2x + (3x – 9)
4x – 4 = 5x – 9
–4 = x – 9
5=x

STATEMENT
mABC = mABD + mDBC
8x° = (3x + 5)° + (6x – 16)°
8x = 9x – 11
–x = –11
x = 11

You learned in Chapter 1 that segments with equal lengths are congruent and that angles with
equal measures are congruent. So the Reflexive, Symmetric, and Transitive Properties of
Equality have corresponding properties of congruence.
Example 3: Identifying Property of Equality and Congruence
Identify the property that justifies each statement.
A. QRS  QRS
B. m1 = m2 so m2 = m1
C. AB  CD and CD  EF , so AB  EF .
D. 32° = 32°
You Try:
Identify the property that justifies each statement.
1. DE = GH, so GH = DE.
2. 94° = 94°
3. 0 = a, and a = x. So 0 = x.
4. A  Y, so Y  A
