usukidoll · Answer

problem solving is fun...proof writing...not so much

skullpatrol · Answer

To understand a proof you must "ask why" each step is taken....

When you are asked to do a proof in geometry, you need to look carefully at the given information and figure out which steps you will need to take to arrive at what you need to prove. In order to be able to write proofs, you must know definitions, postulates, and theorems. They are the tools that allow you to arrive at the conclusion.
