Proof: SSS
Let's prove the following theorem:
if distance AX = distance XB and M is the midpoint of line AB, then △AXM ≅ △BXM
Proof:
Proof Table
| # | Claim | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | distance XB = distance BX | distance XB = distance BX |
| 2 | distance AX = distance BX | if distance AX = distance XB and distance XB = distance BX, then distance AX = distance BX |
| 3 | distance XM = distance XM | distance XM = distance XM |
| 4 | distance AM = distance MB | if M is the midpoint of line AB, then distance AM = distance MB |
| 5 | distance MA = distance AM | distance MA = distance AM |
| 6 | distance MA = distance MB | if distance MA = distance AM and distance AM = distance MB, then distance MA = distance MB |
| 7 | △AXM ≅ △BXM | if distance AX = distance BX and distance XM = distance XM and distance MA = distance MB, then △AXM ≅ △BXM |
