Short Response

  1. Draw a pentagon. Is your pentagon convex or concave? Explain.

Mixed Review

See Lesson 3-2.

Find m angle 1  and m angle 2 .  Justify each answer.

  1. Two horizontal parallel rays are connected by a segment on the left parallel to a transversal on the right, forming a quadrilateral with corners W, X, Y, and Z, from top left clockwise. Interior angles are 1 at Y, 2 at Z, and 110 degrees at X.
  2. Two nearly horizontal segments connect two vertical parallel lines, forming a quadrilateral with corners A, C, D, and B, from top left clockwise. Interior angles are 1 at D, 2 at C, and 94 degrees at A. The exterior angle at B is 66 degrees.
