Part 3: Prove

You observed the given diagram, then made a conjecture. Then you built a model and gathered some data. That may have caused you to rethink your conjecture somewhat--or perhaps it strengthened your conviction. Either way, you should have a conjecture now that you truly believe in. The question is: Can you prove it true? Does measuring angles prove whether or not angles are congruent? What does?[br][br]Use any tools available to you, either on paper or in geogebra (you can still work on your construction from Part 2), to try and prove your conjecture. Write your final proof either in paragraph or two-column format.
[b]Strategy[/b][br]You observed the given diagram, then made a conjecture. Then you built a model and gathered some data. That may have caused you to rethink your conjecture somewhat--or perhaps it strengthened your conviction. Either way, by this phase you should have a conjecture that you truly believe in. The goal now is to demonstrate or [i]prove[/i] your conjecture.[br][br]Does measuring angles prove whether or not angles are congruent? What does?[br][br]You can use any geometric tools, working on paper and/or in geogebra to try and find a way of demonstrating your conjecture.[br][br][b]Two-Column Proof[br][/b]Now you've developed a way to demonstrate that your conjecture is true. A proof is how you clearly present your solution.[br][br]It begins with the problem as it is [i]given[/i] to you. From there, you take one logical step at a time towards the conclusion you want to show is true. In this case, the conclusion you want to prove true is your conjecture.[br][br]Complete the proof in two-column form.
