2
Warm Up Complete each sentence.
1. If the measures of two angles are ? , then the angles are congruent. 2. If two angles form a ? , then they are supplementary. 3. If two angles are complementary to the same angle, then the two angles are ? . equal linear pair congruent
3
Learning Target Students will be able to:Write flowchart and paragraph proofs.Prove geometric theorems by using deductive reasoning.
4
Vocabulary flowchart proof paragraph proof
5
A second style of proof is a flowchart proof, which uses boxes and arrows to show the structure of the proof. The justification for each step is written below the box.
7
A paragraph proof is a style of proof that presents the steps of the proof and their matching reasons as sentences in a paragraph. Although this style of proof is less formal than a two-column proof, you still must include every step.

Example 3: Reading a Paragraph Proof
Use the given paragraph proof to write a two-column proof. Given: m1 + m2 = m4 Prove: m3 + m1 + m2 = 180° Paragraph Proof: It is given that m1 + m2 = m4. 3 and 4 are supplementary by the Linear Pair Theorem. So m3 + m4 = 180° by definition. By Substitution, m3 + m1 + m2 = 180°.

Statements Reasons Example 3 Continued Two-column proof:
1. m1 + m2 = m4 1. Given 2. 3 and 4 are supp. 2. Linear Pair Theorem 3. m3 + m4 = 180° 3. Def. of supp. s 4. m3 + m1 + m2 = 180° 4. Substitution

Check It Out! Example 3 Use the given paragraph proof to write a two-column proof. Given: WXY is a right angle. 1 3 Prove: 1 and 2 are complementary. Paragraph Proof: Since WXY is a right angle, mWXY = 90° by the definition of a right angle. By the Angle Addition Postulate, mWXY = m2 + m3. By substitution, m2 + m3 = 90°. Since 1 3, m1 = m3 by the definition of congruent angles. Using substitution, m2 + m1 = 90°. Thus by the definition of complementary angles, 1 and 2 are complementary.
