The Formal Proof
• A formal proof of a sentence is a sequence of statements wherein each statement follows the form of the previous statement by a valid argument using the rules of reasoning.

Review The Rules• Perpendicular Postulate
If there is a line and a point not on the line, then there is exactly one line through the point perpendicular to the given line.Larson et. al. Geometry. 2001.
•ISZBCrespo
new line m perpendicular to l the given point P
the given line l

Review The Rules• The Geometric Mean of
two positive numbers a and b is the positive number x such that
. Larson et. al. Geometry. 2001.
•ISZBCrespo
ax
=bx
Given a =1, b = 25, x = 5
The geometric mean of the positive numbers 1 and 25 is 5 because .
=15 25
5
• Also, solving for x results to the square root of a*b, which is a positive number. Larson et. al. Geometry. 2001.

5=
25
552 = 1*25
√(52) = √ (1*25)
= 5

Review The Rules• Cross Product Property
If then, ad = bc. Larson et. al. Geometry. 2001.
•ISZBCrespo
ab
=cd
Cross multiplication.
ab
=cd
• Addition Property of Equality
If a = b, then a + c = b + c Larson et. al. Geometry. 2001
• Distributive Property
If ab + ac, then a( b + c) Larson et. al. Geometry. 2001
• Substitution Property of Equality
If a = b, then a can be substituted for b. Larson et. al. Geometry. 2001

Review The Rules• Segment Addition Postulate
If B is between A and C, then AB + BC = AC. Larson et. al. Geometry. 2001.

If AB + BC = AC, then B is between A and C. Larson et. al. Geometry. 2001.
