1.1 Statements and Reasoning
• Statement – group of words/symbols
which is either true or false.
• Examples of geometric statements:
 mA = 80º
 mB + mC = 80º
ABC is a right triangle
Line l is parallel to line m
1.1 Statements and Reasoning
• Deduction – the truth of the conclusion is
guaranteed. Example:
– If p then q
– p
– Therefore q
• Induction – the truth is not guaranteed. Example:
– 3, 5, and 7 are odd numbers that are prime
– Therefore all odd numbers are prime
• Geometric proofs use deductive logic

Measurement

the triangles are congruent.

• ASA - If 2 angles and the included side of a
triangle are congruent to the two angles and
included side of a second triangle, then the

triangle, the triangles are congruent
3.1 Congruent Triangles
• Right Triangle – In a right triangle, the side
opposite the right angle is the hypotenuse and the
sides of the right angle are the legs of the right
triangle.

of one right triangle are congruent to the
hypotenuse and leg of another right triangle, then
the triangles are congruent.
Note: In the book this is introduced in section 3.2.
