Congruence Triangles
Out of 29 items on page 8 to 9, select 10 items.

In Exercise 9 – 12, congruence parts are indicated by like dashes (sides) or arc (angles). State which method (SSS, SAS, ASA or AAS)
would be used to prove the two triangles congruent.

3. With corresponding angles indicated, find m∠A if m∠F = 72°

Since, m∠A ≅ m∠F therefore, m∠A = 72°

4. With corresponding angles indicated, find m∠E, if m∠A = 57° and m∠C = 85° .

m∠A + m∠B + m∠C = 180°

57° + m∠B + 85° = 180°

m∠B = 180° - 57° - 85°

m∠B = 36°

m∠B ≅ m∠E therefore m∠E = 36°

Lesson 3.4

Basic Constructions Justified

Out of 40 items on page 28 to 29, select 10 items.

In Exercise 15 to 18, construct angles having the given measures.

15. 90° and then 45°

16. 60° and then 30°

17. 30° and then 15°

18. 45° and then 105°

20. Describe how would you construct an angle

measuring 75° ?

Start with a right-angle ABC. With a compass set to any arbitrary radius and using B as the origin scribe an arc from leg AB to
leg BC. Mark point D on leg AB. Using the same radius and point D as a center point scribe an arc and mark point P at its point
of intersection with the previously scribed arc. Using a straight edge draw a line from point B through point P. Extend leg AB
from the origin (point B) to any arbitrary point E. Scribe an arc of any arbitrary radius from the origin from leg BC to leg BE
marking the points of intersection as
Q and R, respectively. Using the same
radius scribe arcs from centers at
points Q and R. Mark the point where
these arcs intersect as point S. Using a
straight edge draw a line from point B
through point S. The angle PBS = 75°
31. To construct a regular hexagon, what measure would be necessary for each interior angle? Construct an angle of that
measure.

A hexagon has six sided, and we can use the formula degrees =
(# of sides – 2) ∙ 180. The degrees = (6 – 2) ∙ 180 = 720
720
degrees. Each angle is = 120 degrees.

32. To construct a regular octagon, what measure would be necessary for each interior angle? Construct an angle of that measure.

Because the octagon is regular, all of its sides and angles are congruent. Thus, the measure of each angle is equal to the sum of
1080
each angle by divided by 8. Therefore, each angle in the polygon has a measure of = 135 degrees.
8

33. To construct a regular dodecagon (12 sides), what measure would be necessary for each interior angle? Construct an angle of
that measure.
 1800°
Once you know the sum, you can divide that by 12 to get the measure of each interior angle: = 150° .

34. Draw an acute triangle and construct the three medians of the triangle. Does the median appear to meet at a common point?

Yes.

35. Draw an obtuse triangle and construct the three altitudes of the triangle. Do the altitudes appear to meet a common point?

For an obtuse – angled triangle, the altitude is outside the triangle. For such triangles, the base is extended, and then a
perpendicular is drawn from opposite vertex to the base.
