Question 1

Question
A [blank_start]plane[blank_end] is a flat surface that extends infinitely and has no thickness. A [blank_start]line segment[blank_end] is a part of a line that has two endpoints. A [blank_start]line[blank_end] is a series of points that extend in two directions without end. [blank_start]Parallel lines[blank_end] are lines that lie on the same plane and do not intersect. [blank_start]Perpendicular lines[blank_end] are two line that intersect at angles.

  • Parallel line
  • Line segment
  • Ray

Question 4

Question
Which of these is a correct step in constructing congruent angles?
Answer
  • Use a compass and join points to make the new leg of the congruent triangle.
  • Use a straightedge to measure the width between the points where the first arc cuts both legs of the given angle.
  • Use a straightedge and draw an arc across the first arc from a leg.
  • Use a compass and draw an arc across both legs of the given angle.

Question 5

Question
Which of the following is the final step in bisecting an angle?
Answer
  • Mark the intersection point of the two arcs, and draw a ray from the vertex through the intersection point.
  • Swing an arc that intersects both rays of an angle.
  • Mark the intersection points of the rays and the arc.
  • Place the compass on one of these intersection points, and draw an arc inside the angle.

Question 6

Question
A compass and a straightedge are used to construct ∠DEF ≅ ∠ABC as shown in the image. Which statement best explains why the width HI was used to create the arc at J from Point K?
Answer
  • Angle BHI is equal to angle JKE when ∠DEF ≅ ∠ABC
  • ∠DEF ≅ ∠ABC when JK is constructed equal to HI
  • ∠DEF ≅ ∠ABC when EJ is constructed equal to HI
  • Angle HIB is equal to angle JEK when ∠DEF ≅ ∠ABC

Answer
  • Construct another point E by placing her compass at point D.
  • Draw another circle from point B with the same radius as the original circle.
  • Construct a line perpendicular to the line AB to create four congruent quadrants.
  • Draw arcs above and below line AB to show where the angles meet.

Question 9

Question

Answer
  • Draw line FG.
  • Mark the points of intersection between Circle A and Line AB.
  • Create circle B with radius AB.
