What would you use to support statements thst make up a geometric proof?

Proven Theorems.. Plato ;)


What is the verb of the word proof?

Prove (verb). A prosecutor has to prove the defendant committed a crime. He presents the proof to the jury in order to prove his case.Another, job-specific verb form of proof is in my industry, journalism, where we will say "Would you proof this page?" In this case proof is a shortened version of the verb proofread. This probably is not in Webster's.


How do you do proofs?

A proof is a very abstract thing. You can write a formal proof or an informal proof. An example of a formal proof is a paragraph proof. In a paragraph proof you use a lot of deductive reasoning. So in a paragraph you would explain why something can be done using postulates, theorems, definitions and properties. An example of an informal proof is a two-column proof. In a two-column proof you have two columns. One is labeled Statements and the other is labeled Reasons. On the statements side you write the steps you would use to prove or solve the problem and on the "reasons" side you explain your statement with a theorem, definition, postulate or property. Proofs are very difficult. You may want to consult a math teacher for help.


Prove that Pi is an irrational number?

Every rational number has a decimal expansion that either terminates (like 42.23517) or repeats (like 26.1447676767676...)Pi's decimal expansion neither terminates nor repeatsHence, Pi cannot be rational.If we could prove the first two statements, this would constitute a proof that Pi is irrational, but most people cannot provide proof of either. Most proofs on this issue are quite technical, but I'm hoping to return to this question with a suitable answer soon.


How does an indirect proof lead to the desired conclusion?

With an indirect proof, you temporarily assume that the opposite of what you're trying to prove is true. For example, let's say I'm trying to prove that the sky is blue. With an indirect proof, I would first say: "Assume temporarily that sky is not blue..." and go from there. Eventually, I will reach a contradiction and with this contradiction I can assume that this route of thinking is false, therefore my proof must be true.

Do they have to prove you stole something?

A criminal conviction in court would normally require proof.


What documents provide Proof of ownership of condemned property?

A deed would prove ownership.


How do you prove that you are the original author of a work?

You may optionally register a copyright (in some countries) as documented proof of ownership, but you generally have no obligation to prove you own it. If a defendant wants to claim you do NOT own it, they would have the burden of proof.


In what kind of proof do you assume the opposite of what you want to prove?

This is a "proof by contradiction", where the evidence would fail to support the reverse assumption, giving credence to the original hypothesis.


How would someone get authentication of proof set coins purchased online?

A person would have to submit their coin to an authentication service. Then the service would prove if the coin is real or not and give a proof of authenticity if the coin was authentic.


What is alien prove?

There IS no proof of aliens. There are a lot of tall tales told about aliens in flying saucers, but after 60 + years, there would be some proof by now, if it really were real.

What to tell someone to prove that you love them?

Tell him to be honest, respectful, treat you as an equal, and be considerate of your feelings. That would be proof enough.


How would you prove a direct proof in geometry?

Once you familiarize yourself with the basic axioms and theorems of geometry, you will be able to see how they apply to the proof of any particular problem that you may be working on.
