Name _______________________________________________ Date ____________________ Introduction to Geometry What is Proof? Independent Practice 1. Define the following terms. Conjecture: Inductive Reasoning: Deductive Reasoning: Counterexample: 2. Mr. Epstein placed two-stools in front of the classroom. One had three-legs and the other had four legs. He asked Charlene to sit on each of them. She noticed that the four-legged stool rocked when she sat on it, but the three-legged stool was steady and did not rock. Make a conjecture about why this might have occurred. 4. Provide a counterexample to show that the statement is false. You may use words or draw a diagram.
If π΄π΅#### β π΅πΆ####,then π΅ is the midpoint of π΄πΆ####.

3. Which type of reasoning is being used in each of the following situations? State how you know. It has rained the past 3 days. Joaquin makes a conjecture that it will rain again tomorrow.
Inductive Deductive
Maria is writing a list of numbers. She asked Susanne what the next number would be. After looking at the list: 7, 14, 21, 28, 35, 42, _____ Susanne states, βthe next number will be 49.β
Inductive Deductive
Ky adds the sides of an equilateral triangle and finds the length of the perimeter to be 3 times the length of one side. He guesses that the perimeter of every equilateral triangle will be three times the length of a side.
Inductive Deductive
4. Use the diagram to complete the proof by filling in the blanks. Given: π π#### and ππ#### intersect at point π so that π π = ππand ππ = ππ. Prove: π π = ππ
Statements Reasons 1. Given 1. Given
2. π π + ππ = ππ + ππ 2. Addition Property
3. π π + ππ = π π; ππ + ππ = ππ 3.
4. 4. Substitution Property
