Lesson 7.1.4
7-43. a: 360° ÷ 36° = 10 sides b: Regular decagon
7-44. If the diagonals intersect at E, then BE = 12 mm, since the diagonals are perpendicular
bisectors. Then ΔABE is a right triangle and AE = 15 2 − 12 2 = 9 mm.
Thus, AC = 18 mm.
7-45. Yes, she is correct. Show that the lengths on both sides of the midpoint are equal and that
(2, 4) lies on the line that connects (–3, 5) and (7, 3).

Lesson 7.2.4
7-83. 36 3 ≈ 62.4 square units
7-84. No. Using the Pythagorean Theorem and the Law of Cosines, the perimeter of the
triangle is ≈ 26.3 feet.
20 = 5

7-88. a:
4
b: 5 ; Since the sum of the probabilities of finding the ring and not finding the ring is 1,
you can subtract 1− 15 = 45 .
c: No, his probability is still 4
20 = 1
5 because the ratio of the shaded region to the whole
sandbox is unchanged.
7-98. m∠a = 132º, m∠b = 108º, and m∠c = 120º, m∠a + m∠b + m∠c = 360º
7-99. 15%
7-101. Because alternate interior angles are congruent, the angle of depression equals the angle
formed by the line of sight and the ground. Then tan θ = 5238 , θ ≈ 53.85º.

7-109. Typical responses: right angles, congruent diagonals, 2 pairs of opposite sides that are
congruent, all sides congruent, congruent adjacent sides, diagonals that bisect each other,
congruent angles, etc.
7-111. The triangles described in (a), (b), and (d) are isosceles.
7-112. a: 12 b: 15 c: 15.5
Statements Reasons
1. AD // EH and BF // CG Given
2. a = b If lines are parallel, alternate interior
angle measures are equal.
3. b = c If lines are parallel, corresponding
angle measures are equal.
4. a = c Substitution
5. c = d Vertical angle measures are equal.
6. a = d Substitution

Lesson 7.3.2
7-131. a: Yes, each side has the same length ( 29 units). See graph at right.
b: BD is y = x; AC is y = 5 – x
c: The slopes are 1 and –1. Therefore the diagonals are perpendicular.
7-132. Multiple answers are possible. Any order is valid as long as Statement #1 is first,
Statement #6 is last, and Statement #4 follows both Statements #2 and #3. Statements #2,
#3, and #5 are independent of each other and can be in any order as long as #2 and #3
follow Statement #1.

7-142. a: Must be: none. Could be: right trapezoid, rectangle, square.
b: Must be: none. Could be: kite, rhombus, square.
7-143. a: If a polygon is a parallelogram, then its area equals its base times its height.
b: If the area of a polygon is the base times its height, then the polygon is a
parallelogram. This is always true.
c: “If a polygon is a triangle, then its area equals one half its base times its height.”
Arrow diagram: Polygon is a triangle ➙ area of the polygon equals one-half base
times height.
d: If a polygon’s area is one-half its base times its height, then the polygon is a triangle.
This is always true.
7-145. The expected value is 14 ($3) + 43 ($1) = $1.50 per spin, so each player should pay $1.50
so that there is no net gain or loss over many games.
7-146. a: They are perpendicular because their slopes are opposite reciprocals.
b: It could be a kite, rhombus, or square because the diagonals are perpendicular and at
least one diagonal is bisected.
