Examples of proofs involving geometrical forms

In summary, a proof involving geometrical forms is a mathematical argument that uses logical reasoning and the properties of geometric shapes to demonstrate the truth or validity of a statement or conjecture. Some common examples of these proofs include proving the Pythagorean theorem and the angle sum theorem. These proofs are used in real-world applications such as engineering and architecture. Common strategies for constructing these proofs include using definitions, postulates, and theorems and using diagrams and algebraic and geometric manipulations. While these proofs can be challenging to understand, with practice and patience, they can be learned by anyone.

I am looking for some good websites that have proofs involving parallelograms and rhombus'?
preferably in statement and reasons format

any help would be appreciated.

thank you

MathWorld is a good place to start :)

Yes, but they are quite confusing for a eight grader like me :cry:
