Question 668985: In a geometric proof, how do you know what statement to say next, after you state the given? I kind of understand proofs when the teacher gives me each statement, but when i am by myself i am blank! Answer by ewatrrr(24785) (Show Source):
Hi,
In a geometric proof, statements following the given are a means to the end
Ask yourself, starting with the givens, how do I reach the final conclusion..
(final conclusion being... what is being 'proved' to be true)
What steps must be taken (what statements used...)
