Statement 1: AC = 32 (Given)
Statement 2: AC is a line segment (By definition)
Statement 3: AC has a length of 32 units (By statement 1 and 2)
Statement 4: Let x be the length of a different line segment. (Assumption)
Statement 5: The length of the line segment is equal to x. (By statement 4)
Statement 6: AC and the line segment both represent distances. (By definition)
Statement 7: AC is equal to x (By statement 3, 5, and 6)
Statement 8: x = 32 (By statement 1 and 7)
Statement 9: x = 3 (By simplifying statement 8)
Write a proof for the following.
Given: AC =32
Prove: x = 3
