Proof: Square is Equilateral 2
Let's prove the following theorem:
if WXYZ is a square, then distance ZW = distance WX
Proof:
Given
1 | WXYZ is a square |
---|
# | Claim | Reason |
---|---|---|
1 | WXYZ is a rectangle | if WXYZ is a square, then WXYZ is a rectangle |
2 | WXYZ is a parallelogram | if WXYZ is a rectangle, then WXYZ is a parallelogram |
3 | distance WX = distance XY | if WXYZ is a square, then distance WX = distance XY |
4 | distance WZ = distance XY | if WXYZ is a parallelogram, then distance WZ = distance XY |
5 | distance WX = distance WZ | if distance WX = distance XY and distance WZ = distance XY, then distance WX = distance WZ |
6 | distance ZW = distance WX | if distance WX = distance WZ, then distance ZW = distance WX |
