Distance Formula
Subtract the first x from the second do the same with y Square them both and add together, do not multiplyTake the square root of what you got and plug it inIf you got the right answer, then you win!

The Midpoint Formula
The midpoint is easy to findTake both the x’s and combineDo the same for the y’s and divide each by twoThere is the midpoint formula for you.

Analytical Way of Proving Theorems
The Role of Proof in Mathematics
“For a non-believer, no proof is sufficient… For a believer, no proof is necessary…”
Proof Convincing demonstration
that a math statement is true To explain Informal and formal Logic No single correct answer
ANALYTIC PROOFSAnalytic proof – A proof of a geometric
theorem using algebraic formulas such as midpoint, slope, or distance
Analytic proofspick a diagram with coordinates that
are appropriate.decide on formulas needed to reach
conclusion.
Preparing to do analytic proofs
Preparing analytic proofs Drawing considerations:
1. Use variables as coordinates, not (2,3)2. Drawing must satisfy conditions of the
proof3. Make it as simple as possible without
losing generality (use zero values, x/y-axis, etc.)
Using the conclusion: 1. Verify everything in the conclusion2. Use the right formula for the proof
Good to know!
Q.E.D. is an initialism of the Latin phrase quod erat demonstrandum, meaning "which had to be demonstrated". The phrase is traditionally placed in its abbreviated form at the end of a mathematical proof or when what was specified in the setting-out — has been exactly restated as the conclusion of the demonstration.
Prove that the diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other.
STEP 1: Recall the definition of the necessary terms.
STEP 2: Plot the points. Choose convenient
coordinates.
Prove that diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other.
(0, 0) (a, 0)
(b, c) (a +b, c)
To prove that the diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other,
their __________ must be shown to be _________.
(0, 0) (a, 0)
(b, c)(a +b, c)
O
BC
A
Let E and F be the midpoint of diagonals and .
E = (, )
F = (, )
Therefore, the diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other.
Prove that a parallelogram whose diagonals are perpendicular is a rhombus.
Two lines are perpendicular if the product of their slopes is -1.
Slope of diagonal is .
Slope of diagonal is .
Rhombus is a parallelogram with all sides congruent.
Slope of diagonal is .
Slope of diagonal is .
c2= -(b – a)(a + b) -(b2 – a2)
c2= a2 – b2
Rhombus is a
parallelogram with
all sides congruent.
OA = a
OB =
BC = BC =
AC = AC =
c2= a2 – b2
OB = OB = 𝑎
AC =
Therefore, the parallelogram is a rhombus.
Prove that in any triangle, the line segment joining the midpoints of two sides is parallel to, and half as long as the third side.

Recall:
Square of a Binomial:(x a)² = x² 2ax + a²Example: (x + 4)² + (y – 2)2= 25
(x + 4)2
Recall:
Square of a Binomial:(x a)² = x² 2ax + a²Example: (x + 4)² + (y – 2)2= 25
