\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "guidelines for writing indirect proof:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "1. identify the statement that you want to prove is true
\n" ); document.write( "2. begin by assuming the statement is false, assume its opposite is true
\n" ); document.write( "3. obtain statements that are logically follow from your assumption
\n" ); document.write( "4. if obtain contradiction, then the original statement must be true\r

\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "1. < \"BAC\" is not congruent to <\"DAC\".............given\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "2.\"+AB=AD\".....................................................given\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "3. \"BC\" is congruent \"DC\".....................................indirect proof assumption
\n" ); document.write( "4. \"C\" is midpoint of\"+BD\"....................................definition of midpoint
\n" ); document.write( "5. \"AC\" is bisector of <\"ABC\"...............................definition of bisector
\n" ); document.write( "6. < \"BAC\" is congruent to <\"DAC\"....................reflexive property
\n" ); document.write( "7. contradiction (3,6)...........................................the \"assumption\" is \"false\"\r
