Geometry Proof
Line segment point p point q point r point s on a line segment in that order
given pq=rs
-----------------------------
P........ Q..... R......... S
prove pr=qs
=================
pq = rs--------------Given
qr = qr--------------Identity
pq+qr = pr-----------Construction
qr+rs = qs-----------Construction
------
pr = qs--------------Equals added to equals are equal
===================
