Someone please help! I don't get proofs at all! Describe in paragraph form the steps you take to prove something in geometry.

Read the problem carefully. [ For the purposes of this step-by-step geometry proof, use the following example: Given that triangle ABC is an equilateral triangle and that line AD bisects line BC, prove that the resulting triangle ABD is a right triangle. 2 Draw an illustration of the problem. Having a picture in front of you when doing a geometry proof really helps organize your thoughts. 3 Consider what you know about each piece of given information. For example, because ABC is an equilateral triangle, all three sides must be the same length. Furthermore, all three angles must be equal as well. Since a triangle contains 180 degrees, then each angle in an equilateral triangle must measure 60 degrees. Moving on to the other piece of given information, since line AD bisects side BC, that makes line segments CD and DB equal in length. 4 Use the facts established by the given information to generate more facts that are useful to your geometric proof. Since the line segments CD and DB are equal in length, that means the angle CAD must be equal to the angle DAB.
