Mei draws three pairs of parallel lines that are each intersected by a third line. In each figure, she measures a pair of alternate interior angles.

What is a reasonable conjecture for Mei to make by recognizing a pattern and using inductive reasoning?

• When a pair of parallel lines are intersected by a third line, the alternate interior angles are congruent.

• When a pair of parallel lines are intersected by a third line, all of the angles formed are congruent.

• When a pair of parallel lines are intersected by a third line, the alternate interior angles are acute.

• When a pair of parallel lines are intersected by a third line, all of the angles formed are obtuse.

Jamar draws three pairs of parallel lines that are each intersected by a third line. In each figure, he measures a pair of same-side interior angles.

What is a reasonable conjecture for Jamar to make by recognizing a pattern and using inductive reasoning?

• When a pair of parallel lines are intersected by a third line, the same-side interior angles are acute.

• When a pair of parallel lines are intersected by a third line, all of the angles formed are supplementary.

• When a pair of parallel lines are intersected by a third line, the same-side interior angles are supplementary.

• When a pair of parallel lines are intersected by a third line, all of the angles formed are acute.

Kathryn draws three pairs of intersecting lines. In each figure, she measures a pair of vertical angles.

What is a reasonable conjecture for Kathryn to make by recognizing a pattern and using inductive reasoning?

• When a pair of lines intersect, all of the angles formed are congruent.

• When a pair of lines intersect, the vertical angles are congruent.

• When a pair of lines intersect, the vertical angles are acute.

• When a pair of lines intersect, all of the angles formed are right angles.

Jasmine draws three scalene triangles. In each figure, she measures each of the angles.

What is a reasonable conjecture for Jasmine to make by recognizing a pattern and using inductive reasoning?

• In a scalene triangle, none of the angles are congruent.

• In a scalene triangle, all of the angles are acute.

• In a scalene triangle, none of the angles are right angles.

• In a scalene triangle, one of the angles is obtuse.

Which statement is true about this argument?

Premises: If an angle measure is greater than 90°, then the angle is an obtuse angle. The measure of ∠C∠C is 102°.

Conclusion: ∠C∠C is an obtuse angle.

• The argument is valid by the law of syllogism.

• The argument is not valid because the premises are not true.

• The argument is valid by the law of detachment.

• The argument is not valid because the conclusion does not follow from the premises.

Which statement is true about this argument?

Premises: If a triangle is an isosceles triangle, then it has two sides of equal length. If a triangle has two sides of equal length, then it has two angles of equal measure.

Conclusion: If a triangle is an isosceles triangle, then it has two angles of equal measure.

 

• The argument is valid by the law of detachment.

• The argument is valid by the law of syllogism.

• The argument is not valid because the premises are not true.

• The argument is not valid because the conclusion does not follow from the premises.

Which statement is true about this argument?

Conclusion: Parallelogram PQRSParallelogram PQRS is a rectangle.

• The argument is valid by the law of syllogism.

• The argument is not valid because the conclusion does not follow from the premises.

• The argument is valid by the law of detachment.

• The argument is not valid because the premises are not true.

It is given that E is the midpoint of DF . So, DE ≅(answer 1) by the definition of midpoint. Therefore, DE=EF by the (answer 2) DE+EF=DF by the (answer 3) and so DE+DE (answer 4) by substitution. Simplifying gives 2DE=DF.
