[2 points] Let A = (2, 4), B= (4, 5),C =, 1), T=(7, 3), U =(9, 4), and V=(11, 0). Triangles ABC and TUV are specially related to cach other. Make calculations to clarify this statement, and write a few words to describe what you discover. 3. [2 points] The point on segment AB that is equidistant from A and B is called the midpoint of AB. For cach of the following, find coordinates for the midpoint of AB: (@)A=(-1, S)andB=(,-7) (0) A= (mm, mand B=(E, v 4. [1 point] What is the distance from the point (4, 2) to the point (~3, —2)? Explain your method. 5. [3 points] Let A = (1, 5) and B = (3, ~1). Verify that P = (8, 4) is equidistant from 4 and B. Find at least two more points that are equidistant from A and B. Describe all such points. 6. [4 points] I have been observing the motion of a bug that is crawling on my graph paper. When I started watching, it was at the point (1,2). Ten seconds later it was at (3,5). Another ten seconds later it was at (5, 8). After another ten secands it was at (7, 11). (@) Draw a picture that illustrates what is happening. (b) Write a description of any pattem that you notice. What assumptions are you meking? (©) Where was the bug 25 seconds after I started watching it? (d) Where was the bug 26 seconds after I started watching it? 7. [1 point] Is it possible for a line ax+ 6 y = to lack a y-intercept? To lack an x-intercept? Explain. 8. [2 points] A triangle that has two sides of equal length is called isosceles. Make up an ‘example of an isosceles triangle, one of whose vertices is (3, 5). If you can, find a triangle that does not have any horizontal or vertical sides. 9. [2 points] Is there anything wrong with the figure shown below? o Chatlenge 10. [5 points] Find an example of an equilateral hexagon whose sides are all V3. units long. Give coordinates for all six points. [Hint: Think carefully about where to draw the hexagon on a coordinate grid] 11. [5 points] The Pythagorean Theorem can be used to find distances between two points on a grid. But what about finding distances in three-dimensional space? Consider the rectangular box shown below, which has length /, width w, and height . What is the distance from one corner (A) to the opposite comer (B) in terms of !, w. and hi? Self-Assessment Your | Got help?
