2-6. The diagrams below are not necessarily drawn to
scale. For each pair of triangles:
Determine if the two triangles are congruent.
If the triangles are congruent, write a congruence
statement (such as PQR XYZ) and give the
congruence theorem (such as SAS ).
If the triangles are not congruent, or if there is not enough
information to determine congruence, write cannot be
determined and explain why not.

2-7. When the shapes below are reflected across the

given line of reflection, the original shape and the image
(reflection) create a new shape. For each reflection below,
name the new shape that is created.

a.

+ b.

a. Use this method to create your own shape that

has reflection symmetry. Add additional lines of
symmetry. Note that the dashed lines of reflection in
the figures above become lines of symmetry in the
new shape.

2-8. Plot the following points on a sheet of graph paper
and connect them in the order given. Then connect points
A and D.
A(3, 4), B(1, 6), C(5, 2), and D(1, 4)
a. A. rectangle is a four-sided polygon with
four right angles. Does the shape you graphed
appear to be a rectangle? Use slope to justify
your answer.

b. If ABCD is rotated 90 clockwise ()

about the origin to form A'B'C'D', what are the
coordinates of the vertices of A'B'C'D'?

2-9. Determine the area and perimeter of the trapezoid
below.

the same set of axes and label the point of intersection
with its coordinates.

the sides have lengths of eight feet and five feet. What
are the possible lengths for the third side?
