Coordfinate Proof 2
(day 2)
Proof
definition
The coordinate proof is a proof of a geometric
theorem which uses "generalized" points
on the Cartesian Plane to make an argument.
The method usually involves assigning variables
to the coordinates of one or more points/
guidelines
1. Use the origin as one of the vertex
2. Use the axes as side/sides
3. Identify the properties to be used
4. Think ahead, then minimize the number of
variables in the figure
5. Use distance formula, midpoint, slopes, parallel
and perpendicular lines whenever needed

Theorem:
example The median of a trapezoid is parallel to
each base and the length of the median
equals one-half the sum of the lengths
of the two bases.

erformance
Divide the class into 6 groups.
Group 2
The diagonals of isosceles trapezoids are
congruent.
problems Group 3
The segments joining the midpoints of
consecutive sides of an isosceles trapezoid
form a rhombus.
Group 4
The diagonals of a square are
perpendicular and congruent.
problems Group 5
The median to the hypotenuse is half the
length of the hypotenuse.
Group 6
The segments joining the midpoints of
consecutive sides of a rhombus form a
rectangle.
