26. Because each rung of the ladder is parallel to the one directly above, using the Transitive Property of Parallel Lines (Thm. 3.9), the top rung is parallel to the bottom rung.

27. The two angles marked as 108° are corresponding angles. Because they have the same measure, they are congruent to each other. So, m & n by the Corresponding Angles Converse (Thm. 3.5).

28. ### EA & ### HC by the Corresponding Angles Converse (Thm. 3.5). ∠AEH ≅ ∠CHG by defi nition because m∠AEH = 62° + 58° = 120° and m∠CHG = 59° + 61° = 120°. However, ### EB is not parallel to ### HD because corresponding angles ∠BEH and ∠DHG do not have the same measure and are therefore not congruent.

29. A, B, C, D; The Corresponding Angles Converse (Thm. 3.5) can be used because the angle marked at the intersection of line m and the transversal is vertical angles with, and therefore congruent to, an angle that is corresponding with the other marked angle. The Alternate Interior Angles Converse (Thm. 3.6) can be used because the angles that are marked as congruent are alternate interior angles. The Alternate Exterior Angles Converse (Thm. 3.7) can be used because the angles that are vertical with, and therefore congruent to, the marked angles are alternate exterior angles. The Consecutive Interior Angles Converse (Thm. 3.8) can be used because each of the marked angles forms a linear pair with, and is therefore supplementary to, an angle that is a consecutive interior angles with the other marked angle.

30. m∠1 = 32°; The 32° angle that is marked is corresponding with ∠2. So m∠2 = 32° by the Corresponding Angles Theorem (Thm. 3.1). Considering the line formed by the top of the step and the line formed by the fl oor, ∠1 and ∠2 are alternate interior angles. So, if ∠1 ≅ ∠2, then the top of the step will be parallel to the fl oor by the Alternate Interior angles Converse (Thm. 3.6).

31. Two angles must be given. Sample answer:

∠2 ≅ ∠7 or ∠4 ≅ ∠5 by the Alternate Interior Angles Converse (Thm. 3.6)

∠1 ≅ ∠8 or ∠3 ≅ ∠6 by the Alternate Exterior Angles Converse (Thm. 3.7)

∠2 ≅ ∠5 or ∠4 ≅ ∠7 by the Consecutive Interior Angle Converse (Thm. 3.8)

∠1 ≅ ∠5, ∠2 ≅ ∠6, ∠3 ≅ ∠7, ∠4 ≅ ∠8 by the Corresponding Angles Converse (Thm. 3.5)

In this diagram, angles from only one intersection are marked as being congruent. In order to prove that the two lines are parallel, you need to know something about at least one angle formed by each of the intersections that the transversal makes with the two other lines. For instance, if you knew something about the measure of ∠3, you would be able to determine whether line r is parallel to line s.

2. For part (a), I started by writing the equation (2x + 2)° = (x + 56)°, because the angles represented by these two expressions are corresponding angles with respect to lines p and q. So, in order for lines p and q to be parallel by the Corresponding Angles Theorem (Thm. 3.1), the expressions must be equal to each other. For part (b), I started by writing the equation, (y + 7)° + (3y − 17) ° = 180°. In order for lines r and s to be parallel, the angles represented by these two expressions must be supplementary because each one forms a linear pair with one of the consecutive interior angles formed by lines r and s and transversal q.

m∠1 = m∠2 = 42° 10. m∠1 = 123° by the Corresponding Angles Theorem

(Thm. 3.1).

m∠2 = 123° by the Vertical Angle Congruence Theorem (Thm. 2.6).

11. By the Linear Pair Postulate (Post. 2.8):

3.4 Explorations (p. 147) 1. a. — AB ⊥ — CD ; — AB is parallel to the horizontal edge of the

paper because points A, O, and B are all the same distance from the edge. Similarly, — CD is parallel to the vertical edge of the paper because points C, O, and D are the same distance from the edge. The horizontal and vertical edges form right angles in the corners. So, lines parallel to them will also be perpendicular.

b. — AO ≅ — OB ; Point O must be the midpoint of — AB because the paper was folded in half. So, — AO and — OB are congruent by defi nition of midpoints.

2. a. Check students’ work.

b. They are all right angles.


Chapter 3

3. a. Check students’ work.

b. Check students’ work.

c. Check students’ work; — CD is perpendicular to — AB , and point O is the midpoint of — AB . Point C is the same distance from A as it is from B, and D is the same distance from A as it is from B. So, the segment connecting C and D contains all the points that are equidistant from points A and B.

4. Sample answer: If you have a segment, and you fold it in half so that both halves match, the fold will be perpendicular to the segment. When lines are perpendicular, all four angles are right angles. If two lines intersect to form a linear pair of congruent angles, then the lines are perpendicular. In a plane, if a transversal is perpendicular to one of the two parallel lines, then it is perpendicular to the other line. Finally, in a plane, if two lines are perpendicular to the same line, then they are parallel to each other.

9x + 18 − 18 = 5x + 50 − 18

9x = 5x + 32

9x − 5x = 5x − 5x + 32

4x = 32

x = 8

(9x + 18)° = 90° 9x + 18 − 18 = 90 − 18

x = 8

So, x = 8 when a ⊥ b and b & c.

33. Find the length of the segment that is perpendicular to the plane and that has one endpoint on the given point and one endpoint on the plane; You can fi nd the distance from a line to a plane only if the line is parallel to the plane. Then you can pick any point on the line and fi nd the distance from that point to the plane. If a line is not parallel to a plane, then the distance from the line to the plane is not defi ned because it would be different for each point on the line.

34. Train tracks: y = 2x, V(−2, 3)

y = 2x + b

3 = 2 ⋅ (−2) + b

The slope of the perpendicular line is 3 — 2 .

37. The slope of a line perpendicular toℓmust be the opposite reciprocal of the slope of lineℓ. Then the slope must be negative, and have an absolute value greater than 1. So, an inequality that represents the slope m of a line perpendicular toℓis m < − 1.

38. The angles of the quadrilateral are all right angles because the sides are all formed by horizontal or vertical lines. Also, the length of each side is n. So, JKLM is a square.

39. XY is the same as YX. If the ratio XP to PY is 3 to 5, then the ratio YP to PX is 5 to 3. This is the same point P in both cases.

40. yes; If two lines have the same y-intercept, then they intersect in that point. But parallel lines do not intersect.

41. a. Substitute 4x + 9 for y in the second equation.

4x − (4x + 9) = 1

4x − 4x − 9 = 1

−9 = 1

−9 ≠ 1

Because there is no solution, the lines do not intersect and are, therefore, parallel.

b. Solve the second equation for y.

2x − y = 18

−y = −2x + 18

y = 2x − 18

Substitute the result for y in the fi rst equation.

3(2x − 18) + 4x = 16

6x − 54 + 4x = 16

10x − 54 = 16

10x = 70

x = 7

y = 2x − 18

y = 2 ⋅ 7 − 18

y = 14 − 18

y = −4

The lines intersect at one point (7, −4).

c. Substitute −5x + 6 for y in the second equation.

10x + 2(−5x + 6) = 12

10x − 10x + 12 = 12

12 = 12

Because the statement 12 = 12 is always true, there are infi nitely many solutions, and the lines are the same.

AB to BP is 3 to 2. In order to keep the ratio, AB — BP

50. If lines x and y are horizontal, then by defi nition mx = 0 and my = 0. So, by the Transitive Property of Equality, mx = my. Therefore, by the Slopes of Parallel Lines Theorem (Thm. 3.13), x & y.

51. By defi nition, the x-axis is perpendicular to the y-axis. Let m be a horizontal line, and let n be a vertical line. Because any two horizontal lines are parallel, m is parallel to the x-axis. Because any two vertical lines are parallel, n is parallel to the y-axis. By the Perpendicular Transversal Theorem, (Thm 3.11), n is perpendicular to the x-axis. Then, by the Perpendicular Transversal Theorem (Thm. 3.11), n is perpendicular to m.

Chapter 3

3.4 – 3.5 What Did You Learn? (p. 163) 1. You can fi nd the distance between two lines only if the two

lines are parallel. If you choose a point on one line and fi nd the distance from that point to the other line, the answer will always be the same when the lines are parallel. But if the lines are not parallel, the answer will be different for every point on the line.

2. After drawing the perpendicular lines going through each endpoint of the given segment, you could pick an arbitrary point on one of the perpendicular lines. Then set the compass to the distance from this point to the corresponding endpoint, and use the same compass setting to mark a point on the other perpendicular line that is the same distance from the other endpoint. Connect these two points to construct the fourth segment of the rectangle. This segment should be congruent and parallel to the original segment and perpendicular to the other two constructed segments.

3. Because the distance from your house to the school is one-fourth of the distance from the school to the movie theater, you have to use fi ve congruent segments. Four of the segments are between your school and the movie theater and one is between your house and your school.

Chapter 3 Standards Assessment (pp. 168–169) 1. Every point on the red arc in Step 1 is the same distance

from point A. Because the same compass setting is used, every point on the red arc in Step 2 is the same distance from point B as all of the points in the blue arc are from point A. Also, — CD ⊥ — AB because the shortest distance from a point to a line is the perpendicular segment that connects the point to that line. So, points C and D and every point on — CD are equidistant from points A and B, which means that M is the midpoint of — AB by defi nition.
