Proof: SSS
Let's prove the following theorem:
if distance AX = distance XB and M is the midpoint of line AB, then △AXM ≅ △BXM
Proof:
Proof Table
# | Claim | Reason |
---|---|---|
1 | distance XB = distance BX | distance XB = distance BX |
2 | distance AX = distance BX | if distance AX = distance XB and distance XB = distance BX, then distance AX = distance BX |
3 | distance XM = distance XM | distance XM = distance XM |
4 | distance AM = distance MB | if M is the midpoint of line AB, then distance AM = distance MB |
5 | distance MA = distance AM | distance MA = distance AM |
6 | distance MA = distance MB | if distance MA = distance AM and distance AM = distance MB, then distance MA = distance MB |
7 | △AXM ≅ △BXM | if distance AX = distance BX and distance XM = distance XM and distance MA = distance MB, then △AXM ≅ △BXM |
