Use properties of equality in geometry proofs
ALGEBRAIC PROPERTIES OF EQUALITY
Reflexive Property a = a. Symmetric Property If a = b, then b
= a. Addition Property of Equality If a = b, then a
+ c = b + c. Subtraction Property of Equality If a = b, then a
– c = b – c. Multiplication Property of Equality If a = b, then
ac = bc. Division Property of Equality If a = b, then
a/c = b/c. Transitive Property of Equality If a = b and b = c,
then a = c. Distributive Property a(b + c) = ab +
ac. Substitution Property of Equality If a = b, then
you may replace b with a in any
expression.
WE USE THE PROPERTIES TO JUSTIFY ALGEBRAIC STEPS AND SOLVE PROBLEMS.
THIS IS DEDUCTIVE REASONING.

Geometric Proof Since geometry also uses variables,
numbers, and operations, many of the algebraic properties of equality are true in geometry. For example:Property Segments Angles
Reflexive AB = AB m 1 = m 1
Symmetric If AB = CD, then CD = AB.
If m 1 = m 2, then m 2 = m 1.
Transitive If AB = CD and CD = EF, then
AB = EF.
If m 1 = m 2 and m 2 = m 3, then
m 1 = m 3.
Read the Test ItemDetermine whether the statements are true based on the given information.
A I only B I and II C I and III D I, II, and III
MULTIPLE- CHOICE TEST ITEM then which of the following is a valid conclusion?IIIIII
If and
Example 3:
Solve the Test Item
Statement II:Since the order you name the endpoints of a segment is not important, and TS = PR. Thus, Statement II is true.
Statement I:Examine the given information, GH JK ST and . From the definition of congruence of segments, if , then ST RP. You can substitute RP for ST in GH JK ST to get GH JK RP. Thus, Statement I is true.
Example 3:
Because Statements I and II only are true, choice B is correct.
Answer: B
Statement IIIIf GH JK ST, then . Statement III is not true.
