Grade 8 | Unit 1 | Lesson 9: Moves in Parallel | Practice Problems

Draw parallel lines \(AB\) and \(CD\). Pick any point \(E\). Rotate \(AB\) 90 degrees clockwise around \(E\). Rotate line \(CD\) 90 degrees clockwise around \(E\). What do you notice?

Use the diagram to find the measures of each angle. Explain your reasoning. \(m{\angle ABC}\)

Use the diagram to find the measures of each angle. Explain your reasoning. \(m{\angle EBD}\)

Use the diagram to find the measures of each angle. Explain your reasoning. \(m{\angle ABE}\)

Points \(P\) and \(Q\) are plotted on a line. Find a point \(R\) so that a 180-degree rotation with center \(R\) sends \(P\) to \(Q\) and \(Q\) to \(P\).

Points \(P\) and \(Q\) are plotted on a line. Is there more than one point \(R\) that works for part a?
