Title: Vector Proof requirements
Post by: Adapt on March 25, 2019, 06:46:34 pm

Hey guys,

Does someone have some sort of cheat sheet or just general tips of what is required when needing to prove certain things? For example, if you have to prove using vector methods that a quadrilateral is a square, I believe I need to prove one pair of parallel sides, and one right angle. So yeah was just wondering if there is some way to tell what you need to show in any situation.

general tips: prove in excess of what is required if you forget the actual minimum requirements.

Here is an iconic post from 2012 which covers those vector proofs for shapes: https://atarnotes.com/forum/index.php?topic=138191.msg583291#msg583291
