Question

when writing a formal two - column proof, the reasoning for the first statement is never given.
false
true

Explanation:

In a formal two - column proof, the first statement is typically the given information. And the reason for the first statement (the given) is always provided. For example, if the problem says "Given: \(AB = CD\)", in the two - column proof, the first line in the statement column is \(AB = CD\) and the reason column has "Given".
