Geometry assignment; 12/17

We spent some time reviewing inequality and indirect proofs today together.  The students then got started on their review packets in preparation for the test tomorrow.  The students also got back their graded take home quizzes to study.

Assignment:  Chapter 6 review sheet and study guide

Answers will be posted later this afternoon.


Test on chapter 6 on Thursday, Dec. 17



Answers to Chapter 6 Review Packet:

Inequalities in Triangles

1.  angle B, angle A, angle C
2.  FE, DE, DF
3.  no
4.  yes
5.  no
6.  11; 41
7.  may be
8.  cannot be
9.  must be
10.  AB
11.  DG
12.  HK
13.  angle 1
14.  angle 1
15.  angle 1
16.  D; B
17.  AB
18.  CA;  CB
19.  DC

Indirect Proof worksheet

1.  triangle ABC is scalene;  or triangle ABC is not equilateral
2.  a < b
3.  angle X < angle Y
4.  Doug is not a Canadien
5.  Kim is a violinist
6.  CX is a median of triangle ABC
7.  don't do
8.  Assume a is parallel to b
     Reason:       angle 2 is congruent to angle 3    (vertical angles congruent)
                         angle 1 is congruent to angle 3    (corresponding angles congruent)
                         angle 1 is congruent to angle 2    (transitive / substitution)
     m angle 1 = m angle 2 contradicts the given that m angle 1 does not equal m angle 2
    Assumption is wrong, therefore a is not parallel to b

9.  Assume angle J and angle K are both right angles
     Reason:      OE is congruent to OE   (reflexive)
                        triangle JOE is congruent to triangle KOE   (AAS)
                        OJ is congruent to OK    (CPCTC)
     this statement contradicts the given that OJ is not congruent to OK
     Assumption is wrong, therefore angle J and angle K are not both right angles

10.  Assume OE does bisect angle JOK
       Reason:    angle 1 is congruent to angle 2   (def. of bisect)
                        OE is congruent to OE    (reflexive)
                        triangle JOE is congruent to triangle KOE   (SAS)
                        JE is congruent to KE   (CPCTC)
      This statement contradicts that JE is not congruent to KE
      So the assumption is wrong, therefore OE does not bisect angle JOK
