Question

When developing a plan for a geometric proof, which of the following is not important?

evaluate the given statement(s)
determine the number of steps needed
look carefully at the figure
create a plan for the proof

Answer 1

Determining the number of steps is not important as you can explain a proof from 1 to millions of steps. There can be (in some cases) many steps so determining number of steps is not ideal and is not important.

Looking carefully and understanding what to prove, what identities to use, what are the steps involved is very Important.

Creating a plan for the proof reduces the mistakes and would make the work easier as you already know what has to be done.
