LaTeX for Geometry Proof

Step 0:  Study LaTeX Algebra first here.

Lesson 1: How to set up the table structure.

Copy and paste the code on the left box to LaTex Equation Editor.  Then you will an output that you see on the right box.

Make sure to understand what every letter is doing in LaTeX. $My first proof\\ \begin{tabular}{ l| l } \hline Statement & Reasoning \\ \hline $1 \bigodot$ O & 1 Given \\ $2 \angle$ L $\cong \angle$ S & 2 If two inscribed $\angle$s intercetp the same arc, they are $\cong$ \\ 3 $\angle$L $\cong$ $\angle$N & 3 Same as 2\\ 4 $\triangle$LVE $\sim$ $\triangle$NSE & 4 AA (2, 3)\\ 5 $\frac{EV}{SE}$ = $\frac{EN}{EL}$ & 5 Ratios of corresponding sides of $\sim \triangle$s are =\\ \end{tabular} $My first proof\\ \begin{tabular}{ l| l } \hline Statement & Reasoning \\ \hline 1 \bigodot O & 1 Given \\ 2 \angle L \cong \angle S & 2 If two inscribed \angle s intercetp the same arc, they are \cong \\ 3 \angleL \cong \angleN & 3 Same as 2\\ 4 \triangleLVE \sim \triangleNSE & 4 AA (2, 3)\\ 5 \frac{EV}{SE} = \frac{EN}{EL} & 5 Ratios of corresponding sides of \sim \triangles are =\\ \end{tabular}$

Lesson 4: How to write a geometry solution

The way to write a geometric solution is the same as writing an Algebraic solution, except you will use geometry symbols.  Please study e-Learning under LaTeX Algebra section.
