We continued our work with triangle proofs today by taking a look at how to end a proof with a vocabulary word.  Essentially these proofs are the ones that prove midpoints, parallel lines, bisecting angles, etc.  All of these involve some sort of vocabulary word at the end.  We went over 2 examples together before getting started on the assignment.
