Practical Geometry

What is the next step in the construction of a line parallel to line g?

• Draw a line from point P that intersects line g

• With compass at point A, draw an arc that intersects both sides of the angle

• Set the compass radius to the length of BC and draw a small arc from point D that intersects the arc drawn

• Draw a line that connects point P to the intersection of the two arcs

What is the largest angle in triangle TUV?

• angle T

• angle U

• angle V

Given the information regarding ΔABC and ΔDEF, which statement is true?
∠A ≅ ∠D
 ∠B ≅ ∠E 
  $\overline{BC}\cong\overline{EF}$  

• The given information matches the SAS criterion; the triangles are congruent.

• The given information matches the ASA criterion; the triangles are congruent.

• The given information matches the AAS criterion; the triangles are congruent.

• It cannot be shown that the triangles are necessarily congruent.

A triangle can be constructed with sides 7.7cm,6.8 cm and 12 cm using -------------------- criterion.

(a)  

A triangle can be constructed only when the sum of the length of any two........... is always more than the..............side.
