ACTIVITY 3 I LIKE TO PROVE IT! PROVE IT!
A. Complete the table.
The Isosceles Triangle Theorem states that if two sides of a triangle are congruent, then the
angles opposite these sides are congruent.
Given: TF = TV
Prove: ZF = LV
Statements
Reasons
1. IF = TV
1.
2. Construct a bisector of ZI
2. Every z has 1 angle bisector
3. ZFIE = ZVIE
3.
4.
4. Reflexive Property
5.
5. SAS Congruence Postulate
6. LF = L
6.
MATH 8 QUARTER 2 WEEK 9
Page 6| 10
B. Number the sentences in an order to complete an indirect proof.
Given: In A EFG, EF = FG
Prove: mzE # 90°
LO Therefore the temporary assumption that mzE = 90° must be false.
L But this contradicts the fact that the sum of the measures of the angles of a triangle
is 180.
L) Assume temporarily that mLE = 90°
LO Then mzG = 90°, and mzE + mzF + mzG = 90 + mLF +90 > 180
It follows that mzE + 90°
