Geometry proofs to be exact?

Anyone just want to say they are congruent because they look like it? or its obvious? Or is it just me :P

Geometry is the red headed step child of mathematics. seriously, Algebra and Calculus just build off of one another, but Geometry is just there.

Proofs were a pain to do. They always took me so long to complete but I guess at least mine were elegant.

What the hell is a proof?Lobster_Ear

x is true.

Therefore, y must also be true.

If x and y are true, then the answer is xyz.

Yes. During that part of the course, I just didn't care and ended up with almost a C.

But everything else was relatively easy.

Geometry and Ap Calculus were the only maths that ever gave me troubles. At first when i started doing basic proofs, i actually enjoyed it. Once i got to the harder proofs i wanted to pull my hair out. I could not get higher then a D on sine, cosine, and tangent triangle proofs.

But you could always construct triangles from those shapes.

2 + 2 = 4 now explain why. I don't know why. It's just correct...

Apparently proofs help you explain problems and solutions to people. I can see how somewhat that works.

I read a whole book full of philisophical proofs, and I kinda got lost half the time. Didn't really happen with geometric proofs, even though I couldn't do that crap today :P.

Geometry proofs to be exact?

Anyone just want to say they are congruent because they look like it? or its obvious? Or is it just me :P

Ugh.....yeah we just started those, they are killer.....all these theorems and postulates and failing worksheet grades are getting to my head

Yeah, geometry proofs are a dyke.

This angle is congruent to this angle. That means, this angle is congruent to this angle, and this side is parallel to this side, so this shape is obviously a penis
