Restate what is given and what you must show in terms of this diagram. M Q K P N L Step 3 Plan your proof. (Hint: Use an auxiliary line like the one in the example.) M Q S N L P K R Step 4 Copy the first ten statements and provide the reasons. Then write the remaining steps and reasons necessary to complete the proof.... |
is parallel to the third side. (Converse of the Parallel/Proportionality Theorem) 6. If you drop an altitude from the vertex of a right angle to its hypotenuse, then it divides the right triangle into two right triangles that are similar to each other and to the original right triangle. (Three Similar Right Triangles ... |

Given: Square SQRE with diagonals SR and QE Show: SR QE, SR and QE bisect each other, and SR QE Task 4 To show that SR QE, you must show that both segments have the same length. To show that SR and QE bisect each other, you must show that the segments share the same midpoint. To show that SR QE, you must show that the... |

annot be proven.” 8. The diagonals of a rectangle are congruent. 9. The midsegment of a triangle is parallel to the third side and half the length of the third side. 10. The midsegment of a trapezoid is parallel to the bases. 11. If only one diagonal of a quadrilateral is the perpendicular bisector of the other diagona... |
rules of a game? Sometimes, changing just one simple rule creates a completely different game. You can compare geometry to a game whose rules are postulates. If you change even one postulate, you may create an entirely new geometry. Euclidean geometry—the geometry you learned in this course—is based on several postula... |
if you walk long enough, you will end up back at the same point, after walking a complete circle around Earth! (Find a globe and check it!) So, on a sphere, a “straight line” is not a line at all, but a circle. Hyperbolic geometry is confined to a circular disk. The edges of the disk represent infinity so lines curve ... |
draw an example of two “lines” that are perpendicular to the same “line” but that are not parallel to each other. On your sphere, show that two points do not always determine a unique “line.” Draw an isosceles triangle on your sphere. (Remember, the “segments” that form the sides of a triangle must be arcs of great ci... |
