    WRITING PROOFS/PROVING
    ( A REVIEW)

    DEDUCTIVE REASONING
    reasoning specifically used in
    proving.
    is a type of logical reasoning that
    uses accepted facts as reasons in a
    PROOF
    step-by-step manner until the desired
    is a logical argument in which
    statement is established.
    each
    statement you make is
    supported/justifi ed by given
    information, defi nitions, axioms,
    postulates, theorems, and
    previously
    proven statements.

    WAYS IN WRITING PROOFS

    PARAGRAPH FORM/INFORMAL PROOF


    The paragraph or informal proof is the type of
    proof where you write a paragraph to explain why
    a conjecture for a given situation is true.
    Given: LOE and EOV
    are complementary
    Prove: LO OV

    The Paragraph Proof:


    Since LOE and EOV are complementary,
    then mLOE + mEOV = 90 by definition of
    complementary angles. Thus, mLOE +
    mEOV = mLOV by angle addition
    postulate and mLOV = 90 by transitive
    property of equality. So, LOV is a right angle
    by definition of right angles. Therefore, LO
    OV by definition of perpendicularity.

    Two-Column Form/ Formal Proof:


    Two-column form is a proof with
    statements and reasons. The first column
    is for the statements and the other column
    for the reasons.

    Using the same


    problem in #1,
    the proof is as
    follows:

    Statements

    Reasons

    1. LOE and EOV are


    complementary.

    1. Given

    2. mLOE + mEOV =
    90

    2. Definition of Complementary
    Angles

    3. mLOE + mEOV =
    mLOV

    3. Angle Addition Postulate (AAP)

    4. mLOV = 90

    4. Transitive Property of Equality (TPE)

    5. LOV is a right angle.

    Flowchart Form:
    A flowchart-proof organizes a series
    of statements in a logical order, starting
    with the given statements. Each
    statement together with its justification
    is written in a box and arrows are used
    to show how each statement leads to
    another. It can make one's logic visible
    and help others follow the reasoning.
