Constructing Proofs
When constructing a proof, any line that you state must be one of the
following;
Constructing Proofs
When constructing a proof, any line that you state must be one of the
following;
1. Given information, do not assume information is given, e.g. if you
are told two sides are of a triangle are equal don’t assume it is
isosceles, state that it is isosceles because two sides are equal.
Constructing Proofs
When constructing a proof, any line that you state must be one of the
following;
1. Given information, do not assume information is given, e.g. if you
are told two sides are of a triangle are equal don’t assume it is
isosceles, state that it is isosceles because two sides are equal.
2. Construction of new lines, state clearly your construction so that
anyone reading your proof could recreate the construction.

statement or the reason itself.
