5 Tips to Solve Any Geometry Proof by Rick Scarfi

[giannamarino]

proofs frustrate me even more because i just know after high school im literally never gonna use them again

[morgyn]

i’ve been crying so much over this you don’t even know

[barrynrhondag]

"Know where you are going" that's my problem I HAVE NO CLUE HOW TO GET THERE

2020 because online school is hard and I have a test in 10 minutes and idont understand pray for me lol

Sir, you wouldn't believe how much you've helped me. I was getting ready to pull my hair out because of geometry. I spent many nights just looking at one problem and not being able to solve it. I was on the verge of giving up on it because it was that frustrating. Thank you so much for posting this video

I am struggling with proofs. I'm in 8th grade and I normally get good grades but my geometry grade has been suffering all because of proofs. This video has done worlds for me. I have a quiz tomorrow and I feel prepared. Thank you🙏

I squeaked by Geometry in HS with a C-, in college went through Algebras Trigonometry Real Analysis, a slew Calculus's w Analytical Geometry, Stats and Probability no problem.
Now I'm almost 60 after a career in Industrial Tech. I've always felt a big hole in my maths because of my ignorance of and inability to tackle basic geometry that required any kind of rigor or original on the spot analysis. I look forward to being a Maker in retirement and am thinking its time to get serious about plane and solid geometry. I dug out my old Drafting /Mechanical drawing kit and High School Geometry Text yeah I still have it and my goal is to complete every damn proof in the book no cheating.
This video is the first time, that I can remember at least, that I was presented with a skeleton of the methodology involved in a formal proof. I must have missed that class or my attention was elsewhere at the time.

Do you still have a copy of all the theorems, postulates, definitions and properties? I am needing them badly. I always fail in this lesson. arghhhh

This was a neat flashback to my high school math days. I well remember doing proofs in Geometry and my Math teacher was tough on them. I studied hard for these and I remember one or two of his exams were all proofs. Had to memorize all the theorems, postulates, definitions, etc. One student loved proofs and always aced the exam. Thanks!

I’m fed up with mathematics, why can’t I just graduate already? It’s not hard to believe knowing that all teachers are the kind of people who are excessive or rather extra when explaining something so simple like a freaking proof! I’ve been looking up what a proof was for a while and then I have wasted a few hours trying to find a simple explanatory video that explains proofs exclusively, only to find this video which gave me more then simple! So thank you for actually giving me the tips and tools need to prepare myself for a test I’ve got on Monday! I haven’t slept yet and it’s already the next day!! So goodnight...or rather good morning!

Parallel lines are marked by drawing little feathers
9:14 alternate interior angles are congruent
13:04 mid point

I’m taking my geometry final on Friday since they put me in precalc cause I knew everything about geometry. But proofs are my bad area, and I hope this will do me good

Currently here because I have a D and am trying to not fail my acc geometry class 😔👊

[aaroshzulfi_]

OH MY GOSH. 1 HOUR BEFORE MY TEST I FINALLY UNDERSTAND. THANK YOU!!

[ddoodah]

Another tip is to, ignore where you're going. So what I like to do whenever im trying to prove is I like to get a separate sheet of paper and redraw the proof, rewrite the given, but ignore what I'm trying to prove, then from what is given I try and prove everything I CAN prove, just by looking at the given and examining the drawing. Then once I've proven everything I can, I then look at what I needed to prove in the first place.

Hi sir my name is shane and I am in 10th grade i am having a hard time with this and my teacher has not went over the proofs, theorems or anything among the matter I was wondering if you could send me a copy if you still have it?

Given: Bird = word
Prove: Robin = word
Statement: Robin = Bird
Reason: Bird property of equality
Statement: Robin = bird and bird = word
Reason: transitive property
Robin = Word

[tasukedate]

Thank you so much for posting this video! Proofs always confused me but your video helped me get a better understanding! I have the Geometry FSA tomorrow and I'll be sure to remember your 5 tips when solving a proof ^.^

[jimmybiscuit]

Proofs would be so much easier if they allowed us to use a book full of the definitions, but no they make us memorize like what, 30 different theorems, postulates, and definitons

Currently watching this because my dad yelled at me for failing one quiz
