sense based on another
statement that has
D.   Theorem already been proven

officially defined but that
is understood to be

Part II: Find a Pattern.

Use the terms from Part I to answer each question.

 What is a proof? (1 point)

 You want to prove a theorem in a two-column proof. You start with your given
statement and list deductions in the left-hand column. What are the three
main types of reasoning you will use for reasons in the right-hand column? (3
points; 1 point each)
 1.

 In an indirect proof, you prove an "if-then" statement is true by assuming the

statement is false (stating the inverse or converse), and then disproving the
false statement. You want to prove the statement shown below in an indirect
proof. What statement should you prove is false? (1 point)

Statement to Prove True: If a figure has exactly three sides, then it is a

triangle.

Statement to Prove False:

5. Find AB, BC, and AC.

Part I: The length of line segment AC is 8x - 9. Use the figure below to find the
value of x. Show your work. (1 point)
 Part II: Use the solution you found for x in Part I to find AB, BC, and AC. Show
your work. (3 points)

6. Use the figure below to identify angles and segment lengths.

Part I: Find the measure of and the measure of . Give an

explanation for each angle in your answer. (1 point)
Part II: Suppose the length of AD is 10 and the length of DG is twice as long
as AD. Find the length of AG. Show your work. (1 point)

Part III: Name a pair of vertical angles, a straight angle, and two acute angles
other than . (1 point)
 Part IV: Describe the term linear pair, and give an example from the diagram
above. (1 point)

7. A pair of lines may be parallel, perpendicular, or skew.

Part I: Describe parallel lines and include a sketch that shows parallel lines.
Give a real-world example of parallel lines. Use appropriate labeling and
symbols. (2 points)
Part II: Describe perpendicular lines and include a sketch that shows
perpendicular lines. Give a real-world example of perpendicular lines. Use
appropriate labeling and symbols. (2 points)

Part III: Describe skew lines and include a sketch that shows skew lines. Give
a real-world example of skew lines. Use appropriate labeling and symbols. (2
points)
 8.

Part I: || and || . Use the figure above to find the

value of each angle. Give an explanation for each angle value. (7 points)

9. Look at the sequence below and form a conjecture (educated guess) about it.

Part I: This form of reasoning, where you form general ideas and rules based on
your experiences and observations, is called _______________. (1 point)

Part II: Describe the pattern of the following sequence. (2 points)

 Part III: Draw the next item in the series. (1 point)

10. You just hung a picture twelve inches above the wall trim. Your friend thinks the
picture looks crooked. Use what you know about parallel lines and transversals to
determine if the picture is level.

Step 1: You don't have a level, but you are in luck. You know the wall trim is level.
You have a protractor and the sun is casting a shadow on the wall. Describe how
you can determine if the picture is level. (3 points)
Step 2: Assume you measured ∠3 and ∠5 and found them to be equal. Use the
spaces provided below to complete a formal proof that demonstrates the picture
is level with the trim. (4 points)
