• Lesson Quiz 2-3
Essential Question
How are properties of equality used in Algebraic and Geometric Proofs?
Addition Property of Equality
If a = b and c = d, then a + c = b + d.
subtraction property of equality
If a = b and c = d, then a – c = b – d.
multiplication property of equality
If a = b then ac = bc.
division property of equality
If a = b and c ≠ 0, then a = b . c c
substitution property
If a = b then either a or b may be substituted for the other in any equation or inequality.
reflexive (identity) Property
a = a
DE = DE
1 = 1
Symmetric Property
If a = b then b = a.
Distributive Property
a ( b + c ) = ab + ac
a ( b – c) = ab - ac
Transitive Property
If a = b and b = c, then a = c.
If DE = FG and FG = JK, then DE = JK.
If 1 = 2 and 2= 3, then 1 = 3.
Midpoint Theorem
If M is the midpoint of AB, then AM = ½ AB and MB = ½ AB, also 2 AM = AB and 2MB = AB.
Angle Bisector Theorem
If BX is the bisector of ABC, then
2 m ABX = m ABC and m ABX = m ABC.
2 m XBC = m ABC and m XBC = m ABC.
