Question 940987: I'm not exactly sure how to do the signs but I'm learning Congruent Segments.
Given:
PR=AT
P.-- A.----R.--T. (that's the picture)
Prove:
PA=RT
I need to do the chart: Statement - Reason

P.-- A.----R.--T
PR = AT              Given 

PR = PA + AR         A whole is the sum of its parts.
AT = AR + RT         "   "    "  "   "   "  "    "  . 
PA + AR = AR + RT    Things equal to equal things are equal to each other.
     AR = AR         Identity
-----------------
PA      =      RT    If equals are subtracted from equals the results
                     are equal.
