Right column
statement of the facts given to be true
Given
a statement of the conclusion
Prove
an illustration that shows the given information
Diagram
provided reasons or justifications
Reasons
numbered sequentially statements that are written on the left column which must be true to prove the conclusion
Statements
a = a
Reflexive Property
If a = b, then b = a
Symmetric Property
If a = b and b = c, then a = c.
Transitive Property
If a = b, then a and b can replace each other
Substitution Property
If a = b, then a + c = b + c.
Addition Property of Equality
If a = b, then a - c = b - c.
Subtraction Property of Equality
If a = b, then a * c = b * c
Multiplication Property of Equality
