M N P
If MN = 10, and MP = 24.5, find NP.
Solution
By SAP, MN + NP = MP
so 10 + NP = 24.5
and NP = 14.5

REVIEW: DEF. OF CONGRUENT SEGMENTS
Two segments are congruent if and only if they have the same length.
This is a biconditional:
1) If two segments are congruent, then they have the same length.
2) If two segments have the same length, then they are congruent.

There is no magical way to learn to do proofs. Doing proofs requires hard thinking, serious effort, memorization, a lot of writing, and dedication. There are no shortcuts, there are no quick easy answers.
To be successful at proof, you must know every definition, postulate and theorem. Looking them up in a book is no substitute.
Every year, millions of students across the country learn proofs. You can do it, too!
