LaTeX for Geometry Proof
Step 0: Study LaTeX Algebra first here.
Step 1: Open LaTeX Equation Editor window (click 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.

Lesson 3: Proof Example
Here is an example of a short proof writing in LaTeX. 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 =\\

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.
