Question
example of a flow chart before writing a proof. flowcharts organize your thinking process.
given: \\( \angle 1 \cong \angle 7 \\)
prove: \\( \ell \parallel m \\)
19 know
- \\( \angle 1 \cong \angle 7 \\)
from the diagram you know
- \\( \angle 1 \\) and \\( \angle 3 \\) are vertical
- \\( \angle 5 \\) and \\( \angle 7 \\) are vertical
- \\( \angle 1 \\) and \\( \angle 5 \\) are corresponding
- \\( \angle 3 \\) and \\( \angle 7 \\) are corresponding
\\( \angle 1 \cong \angle 7 \\)
given
\\( \angle 3 \cong \angle 1 \\)
vertical \\( \triangle \\) are \\( \cong \\).
need
one pair of corresponding angles congruent to prove \\( \ell \parallel m \\)
plan
use a pair of congruent vertical angles to relate either \\( \angle 1 \\) or \\( \angle 7 \\) to its corresponding angle.
\\( \angle 3 \cong \angle 7 \\)
transitive property of \\( \cong \\)
\\( \ell \parallel m \\)
if corresp. \\( \triangle \\) are \\( \cong \\), then the lines are \\( \parallel \\).
- always state what you are given and what you need to prove
true
false
- a diagram with what is given marked appropriately is
In a proof - writing process, clearly stating the given information and what needs to be proved is a fundamental and necessary step. It helps in organizing the thought process and provides a clear starting point and goal for constructing the proof.
