Prove that:
(s / 2) ⋅ (s / 2) = (s ⋅ s) / 4
The following properties may be helpful:
- a / b = a ⋅ (1 / b)
- a ⋅ (b ⋅ c) = (a ⋅ b) ⋅ c
- ((a ⋅ b) ⋅ c) ⋅ d = ((a ⋅ c) ⋅ b) ⋅ d
- (1 / 2) ⋅ (1 / 2) = 1 / 4
- (a ⋅ b) ⋅ c = a ⋅ (b ⋅ c)
- a / b = a ⋅ (1 / b)
if a = b, then a ⋅ a = b ⋅ b
if the following are true:
- a = b
- b = c
then a = c
if the following are true:
- a = b ⋅ c
- c = d
then a = b ⋅ d
if the following are true:
- a = c
- b = c
then a = b
if the following are true:
- a = b
- b = c
then a = c
if the following are true:
- a = b
- b = c
then a = c
Please write your proof in the table below. Each row should contain one claim. The last claim is the statement that you are trying to prove.
