Geometry Proof Techniques

The document discusses how to use coordinate proofs to prove geometric properties by placing figures on a coordinate plane, noting guidelines like using the origin as the vertex or center and keeping the figure in the first quadrant if possible. An example is then given to prove that the diagonals of a rectangle are congruent using coordinates. The assignment asks what the standard and general forms of the equation of a circle are and tells the student to read a specific page range in advance.

Activity: What Figure am I ?


ANSWER KEY:
ANSWER KEY:
Using the Distance Formula in
Proving Geometric Properties
Many geometric properties can be proven by using
a coordinate plane. A proof that uses figures on a
coordinate plane to prove geometric properties
is called a coordinate proof.

Guidelines for placing figures on a


coordinate
1. Use the origin as vertex or center of a figure.
plane.
2. Place at least one side of a polygon on an axis.
3. If possible, keep the figure within the first quadrant.
4. Use coordinates that make computations simple and easy.
Sometimes, using coordinates that are multiples of two would make
the computation easier.
EXAMPLE:

Prove that the diagonals of a rectangle are congruent
