Practice Geometric Proofs in Math

Use these practice problems to test your method after reviewing the concept explanation and worked examples.

Quick Recap

Geometric proofs establish that a geometric claim is true by chaining justified statements from definitions, theorems, and givens.

It is a legal argument where each line needs a valid reason.

Example 1

medium
Prove that the base angles of an isosceles triangle are equal.

Example 2

hard
Prove by contradiction: if two lines are cut by a transversal so that alternate interior angles are equal, the lines are parallel.

Example 3

easy
Prove that vertical angles are equal. Given: Lines AB and CD intersect at O; prove \angle AOC = \angle BOD.

Example 4

medium
Given that \triangle ABC \cong \triangle DEF, prove that the perimeters are equal.
