Geometric Proofs

To be successful with proofs one must think logically. Do NOT try to use a characteristic of the conclusion.

I find thinking about every characteristic of the conclusion can help with your discovery of the needed definitions, postulates , properties, or previously proven theorems you will use in your proof.
