A statement that tells exactly


C. Common notion what something is or means

Part II: Find a Pattern.

Use the terms from Part I to answer each question.

 What is a proof? (1 point)

 You want to prove a theorem in a two-column proof. You start with your given
statement and list deductions in the left-hand column. What are the three main types
of reasoning you will use for reasons in the right-hand column? (3 points; 1 point
each)

1.

2.

3.

 In an indirect proof, you prove an "if-then" statement is true by assuming the


statement is false (stating the inverse or converse), and then disproving the false
statement. You want to prove the statement shown below in an indirect proof. What
statement should you prove is false? (1 point)

Statement to Prove True: If a figure has exactly three sides, then it is a triangle.
Statement to Prove False:

work. (3 points)

6. Use the figure below to identify angles and segment lengths.

explanation for each angle in your answer. (1 point)

Part II: Suppose the length of AD is 10 and the length of DG is twice as long as AD.

than . (1 point)

of each angle. Give an explanation for each angle value. (7 points)

9. Look at the sequence below and form a conjecture (educated guess) about it.

Part I: This form of reasoning, where you form general ideas and rules based on your
experiences and observations, is called _______________. (1 point)

Part II: Describe the pattern of the following sequence. (2 points)


Part III: Draw the next item in the series. (1 point)

10. You just hung a picture twelve inches above the wall trim. Your friend thinks the picture
looks crooked. Use what you know about parallel lines and transversals to determine if the
picture is level.

Step 1: You don't have a level, but you are in luck. You know the wall trim is level. You
have a protractor and the sun is casting a shadow on the wall. Describe how you can
determine if the picture is level. (3 points)
Step 2: Assume you measured ∠3 and ∠5 and found them to be equal. Use the spaces
provided below to complete a formal proof that demonstrates the picture is level with the
trim. (4 points)
