Geometry

proof

a argument that uses logic in the form of definitions, properties, and previously proved principles to show that a conclusion is true.

valid argument

deductive reasoning such that the reasoning is logically correct and undeniably true.

conclusion

part of a conditional statement that expresses the action.

hypothesis

part of a conditional statement that expresses the conditions that must be met by the statement.

geometric proof

previously proved theorems and corollaries to show that a conclusion is true.

algebraic proof

proof that uses algebraic properties to reach a conclusion about an algebraic equation.

contraposotive

related conditional statement that results from the exchange and negation of the hypothesis and conclusion of a conditional statement.

argument

series of reasons that lead ti a conclusion.

inductive

specific cases have been observed to be true is called _____ reasoning.

conditional

statement in which a conclusion is true if the conditions of a particular hypothesis are true is called a _____ statement.

conjecture

statement that you conclude to be true based on logical reasoning.

linear pair

the _____ theorem states that if and 2 angles form a linear pair, then they are supplementary.

formal proof

argument that uses written justification in the form of definitions, properties, previously proved geometric principles to show that a conclusion is true.

conjunction

compound logic statement made of two statements joined together with the word "and.
