2.6: Geometric Proof
Definitions:
Theorem - any statement that you can prove
Two Column Proof - a proof where you list the steps of the proof in the left column and the matching reason for each step in the right column
Theorems:
Linear Pair Theorem - If two angles form a linear pair, then they are supplementary
Congruent Supplements Theorem - If two angles are supplementary to the same angle, then the two angles are congruent
Right Angle Congruence Theorem - all right angles are congruent
Congruent Complements Theorem - if two angles are complementary to the same angle, then the two angles are congruent
Examples:
