Geometry Unit 2: Reasoning and Proof

Name: _______________________________________________________ Date: _______________________


Given x, y, and z are real numbers.
Use the given property or properties of equality to fill in the blank in each of the following questions.
1. Symmetric: If x = 3, then _______________________________________.
2. Reflexive: If x + 2 = 9, then _____________________________________.
3. Transitive: If y = 12 and x = y, then __________________________________________.
4. Symmetric: If x + y = y + z, then ____________________________________________.
5. Reflexive: If x + y = y + z, then _____________________________________________.
6. Substitution: If x = y – 7 and x = z + 4, then _____________________________________________.
7. Use the transitive property of equality to write a convincing logical argument (a proof) that the
statement below is true. If a = b and b = c and c=d and d=e, then a=e.
