2-5 Reasoning in Algebra and Geometry

Objective

To connect reasoning in algebra and geometry

A Solve It problem demonstrates reasoning in algebra.
Image Long Description

In the Solve It, you logically examined a series of steps. In this lesson, you will apply logical reasoning to algebraic and geometric situations.

Essential Understanding Algebraic properties of equality are used in geometry. They will help you solve problems and justify each step you take.

In geometry you accept postulates and properties as true. Some of the properties that you accept as true are the properties of equality from algebra.
