Proof: Square Example
Let's prove the following theorem:
if distance WX = distance XY and distance XY = distance YZ and distance YZ = distance ZW and ∠WXY is a right angle, then WXYZ is a square
Proof:
Given
| 1 | distance WX = distance XY |
|---|---|
| 2 | distance XY = distance YZ |
| 3 | distance YZ = distance ZW |
| 4 | ∠WXY is a right angle |
| # | Claim | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | WXYZ is a rhombus | if distance WX = distance XY and distance XY = distance YZ and distance YZ = distance ZW, then WXYZ is a rhombus |
| 2 | WXYZ is a square | if WXYZ is a rhombus and ∠WXY is a right angle, then WXYZ is a square |
