    1. 100 pi , in , . squared
    2. 100 pi , in , . cubed
    3. 500 over 3 , pi , in , . squared
    4. 400 pi , in , . squared
  2. What type of polygon is the figure below?

    A figure has six congruent sides forming an arrow shape.

    1. concave regular
    2. concave irregular
    3. convex regular
    4. convex irregular
  3. If O is the center of the circle, what can you conclude from the diagram?

    A circle with center O has inscribed angles with vertex A. Angle CAD has O inside and angle BAC is above. Chords BC and CD form sides of triangles with the sides of the angles.

    1. eh b greater than eh d
    2. eh b equals eh d
    3. eh b less than eh d
    4. There is not enough information to compare AB and AD.
  4. The height of the cone below is 5.

    A cone has a segment measuring 3 from the center of the base meeting the side at a right angle.

    What is the radius of the cone?

    1. 3
    2. square root of 10
    3. 3.75
    4. 4

Short Response

  1. How do you construct a cap delta d e f  congruent to cap delta eh c b question mark

    Triangle ABC has base AB on bottom and vertex C on top, with E to the left of C.

  2. Rieko is trying to prove the following theorem:

    Parallelogram ABCD has a segment from D to E on side AB and a segment from B to F on side DC. Angles ADE and CBF are congruent.

    If ABCD is a parallelogram, and angle , eh d e almost equal to , angle c b f comma  then DEBF is a parallelogram.

    One strategy is to show that both pairs of opposite angles are congruent. How would you show that angle , e d f almost equal to , angle e b f question mark

Extended Response

  1. In one game on a reality TV show, players must dig for a prize hidden somewhere within a sand-filled circular area. There are 18 posts equally spaced around the circle and clues are given so that players narrow the location by crossing two ropes between the posts. What is the angle measure w formed by the ropes in the diagram? Explain your reasoning.

    Eighteen posts are connected in a circle. Two chords between posts intersect. One arc between has two posts inside with angle w degrees at the intersection. The opposite arc has one post.
