  • Lesson 1-7 The Distance Formula

    Find the side lengths of cap delta eh b c .

    1. eh open 3 comma 1 close comma b open negative 1 comma 1 close comma c open negative 1 comma negative 2 close
    2. eh open negative 3 comma 2 close comma b open negative 3 comma negative 6 close comma c open 8 comma 6 close
    3. eh open negative 1 comma negative 2 close comma b open 6 comma 1 close comma c open 2 comma 5 close
  • Lesson 2-6 Proving Angles Congruent

    Draw a conclusion based on the information given.

    1. angle j  is supplementary to angle k semicolon

      angle l  is supplementary to angle k .

    2. angle m  is supplementary to angle n semicolon

      angle m approximately equal to angle n .

    3. angle 1  is complementary to angle 2 .

      Triangle ABC has interior angle 1. Extensions of sides AC and BC have angle 2 between them.

    4. f eh vector , up tack , f c vector , comma , f b vector , up tack , f d vector

      Angle AFD has interior rays FB and FC.

  • Lessons 3-2 and 3-5 Parallel Lines and the Triangle Angle-Sum Theorem

    What can you conclude about the angles in each diagram?

    1. Triangles ABE and CDE share vertex E with sides AB and CD parallel.
    2. Parallelogram ABCD has sides AB and CD parallel, and sides AD and BC parallel, with diagonal AC.
    3. Triangle ABC has interior angle measuring (x + 9) degrees at A, (6x minus 1) degrees at B, and (7x + 4) degrees at C.
