A E B

1. Solve for the variables. E, F, D are midpoints. ED = 3y, FE = 2x2, AC = 10y 6 and CD = x + 10
C

F D

2. Find the missing coordinates for points A and C given the isosceles ABC.
A B (3a, 0)

3. Classify the triangles by its sides if the angles are in the ratio 2:3:4. 4. Given PQR, P(-2, 1) Q(2, 3) R(3, -1) find: a. the slope of the altitude QT. b. the coordinates of the endpoint of the median from R. c. Write the equation, in standard form, of the altitude QT (from problem 4a).

5. a. List the four special segments in a triangle, name their points of concurrency, and why those points of concurrency are important. b. Lets say you owned 2 pizza stores in Southlake. A particular home seems to lie almost half way between each store. Because youve always been a curious Geometry student, how would you determine which store is closest and should deliver the pizza? 6. Name the segment(s) described. a. b. c. d. The special segments that do not necessarily pass through a vertex. The special segment that joins a vertex to the midpoint on the opposite side. When three _________intersect, they form the triangles centroid (center of gravity). The special segment(s) that form(s) a right angle if drawn from the vertex angle in an isosceles triangle. e. The special segment that forms a point of concurrency that is equidistant to each side. f. The special segment that begins at a vertex and is perpendicular to the opposite side. 7. Draw obtuse ABC with A obtuse, an altitude AR and a perpendicular bisector of segment AB labeled DE.
C 5x-25

10. Is it possible to form a triangle with the given sides? a. 1, 1, 4 b. 3, 3, 6

c. 11, 7, 3

11. Given sides 5 and 15, what is the range of values for the third side of a triangle? 12. If 3x and 5x are the lengths of two sides of a triangle, express the range of values possible for the third side. 13. Using the picture to the right, express the possible values of x.

Review Answers 1. x = -2, x = 5/2, y = 3/2

2. A (-3a,0) C (0, y) 3. scalene 4. a) 5/2 b) (0, 2) c) 5x 2y = 4 5. a. median centroid center of gravity altitude orthocenter shhhhh, its a secret angle bisector incenter equidistant to each side & center of inscribed circle perpendicular bisector circumcenter equidistant to each vertex & center of the circumscribed circle b. You would connect the stores to create a segment then construct that segments perpendicular bisector by folding the segment in half or by using the fish construction with a compass and straightedge. That line would be the boundary line and determine which homes are closest to which store. 6. a) bisector b) median 7.
