(Do not count. Graph is not to scale.) a. Label the point on the left and the point on the right. Since CD is a horizontal segment, what can ou sa about and? b. Express CD in two different was in terms of x and x. c. Write a formula for CD using either formula above. CD = d. The endpoints of a horizontal segment are E( 0, ) and F(, ). Use our formula to compute EF. Virginia Department of Education 0

4 . The endpoints of a segment PQ are and. Use this diagram for the following questions. (Do not count. Graph is not to scale.) a. Use the Pthagorean Theorem on the right triangle, using PQ, PR, and QR. Complete the equation below: (PQ) = Q b. Label the point P as and point Q as. Find the coordinates of the point R. c. Write formulas for PR and QR using either formula above. PR = QR = P R d. Determine whether this equation is true. If it is true, explain wh. If it is false, give a counterexample. (Hint: When ou square a real number, is it ever negative?) e. Use the last three problems to get a formula for (PQ) in terms of,,, and. (PQ) = f. Take the square root of both sides of our last formula to write PQ in terms of,,, and. PQ = g. The endpoints of a segment are I(8, ) and J(, ). Use the formula ou found to compute the distance between I and J. Virginia Department of Education 0 6

8 Name ctivit Sheet : Lake Geometria Date The islands of Lake Geometria are shown below. cabin is marked on each island. The scale, using units called stades, is shown in the lower right. stade measures about 600 feet, so Lake Geometria is not ver big. Use the grid to help ou answer the following questions. ll island measurements should be made from cabin to cabin.. What is the distance in stades from Eudoxus to rchimedes? (Round to the nearest stade.) Describe how ou found our answer.. What is the distance in stades from Thales to Euclid? (Round to the nearest stade.) Describe how ou found our answer. Virginia Department of Education 0 0

9 . Which is closer to Thales Pthagoras or Heron? Describe how ou found our answer.. Find a point in the water that is the same distance from rchimedes and Eudoxus. Label the point M. Describe how ou found this point.. Now find a point on land that is the same distance from rchimedes and Eudoxus. Label this point N. 6. How man points can ou find that are the same distance from rchimedes and Eudoxus? Explain. 7. Find a point on land that is the same distance from Thales and Pthagoras. Is our point on the mainland or on an island? Does it have to be? 8. Groups staing on an of the islands are provided with solar-charged walkie-talkies, but their ranges are onl about mile. There are about 9 stades in a mile. With which islands could someone staing at the cabin on Thales expect to be able to communicate? Show our work, or explain how ou found our answer. 9.
