The solution of the statement of an indirect proof.

Explanation of Solution
Given information:
Explain the procedure for writing an indirect proof.
Calculation:
In an indirect proof or proof by contradiction, assume temporarily that this statement is false by assuming that the opposite of the statement is true. Next, reason logically until reach a contradiction. Finally, point out that the statement wanted to prove must be true because the contradiction proves that the temporary assumption made is false.

- AREA OF COMPOUND FIGURE A compound shape is made up of basic shapes put together. To find the area of a compound shape, follow these steps: 1. Break the compound shape into basic shapes. 2. Find the area of each basic shape. 3. Add the areas. Example: Area A 2 x 9 = 18 Area B = 4x4 = 16 2 ft. Total area = 18+ 16 = 34 9 ft. A 5 ft. 6 ft. 4 ft. B 4 ft.arrow_forwardi know that angle ZPY is 55 and arc zy is 110. How is arc wx 125arrow_forwardi know that angle ZPY is 55 and arc ZY is 110. How is arc WX 125?arrow_forward
