Geometry Unit 4 Assignment - Angles and Lines

The document provides instructions and examples for a geometry assignment on lines and angles. It includes three parts: the first asks students to prove two triangles are congruent using side-angle-side, the second asks students to draw different types of triangles showing angle measures, and the third asks students to write a two-column proof of triangle congruence using one of the criteria like side-side-side.

Geometry, Part 1

Unit 4 Assignment - Lines and Angles

Part A:
Observe the map above. Consider the triangle formed by Pine Street,
Main Avenue, and Summer Road & the triangle formed by Summer Road, Spruce Street, and Main Avenue.
Provide one reason why these two triangles must be congruent.

These two triangles must be congruent due to the Side-Angle-Side postulate. For our purposes, the
triangle by Pine Street and Main Avenue (at the top left) will be considered triangle 1, and the triangle by
Summer Road and Spruce Street (at the bottom right) will be considered triangle 1. The information given
is the fact that triangle 1’s side by Pine Street is congruent to triangle 2’s side by Spruce Street (indicated
by the two lines. Moreover, triangle 1’s side by Summer Road is congruent to triangle 2’s side by Summer
Road as well. The congruency in these two sides is indicated by the singular line of congruency on each of
these sides. Finally, in triangle 1 and triangle 2, there is a 90 degree mark in between the two congruent
sides on each triangle, which tells us that the 90 degrees is also congruent between both triangles. Then,
we per the definition of the SAS postulate, since there is a congruent side, a congruent angle, and another
congruent side between these two triangles, we can confirm that these two triangles must be congruent.

Part B:
Draw the 5 required shapes below. You can use an application of your choice or online software such as GeoGebra to
draw these. Take a screenshot of your shape and insert it in the relevant space in this worksheet. Alternatively, you can
print this doc. and draw the shapes by hand using a pen/pencil and a ruler (or any straight edge), then take a photo of the
worksheet. Upload your document as a PDF. We also accept image files that are either: JPG or PNG.

Shapes do not have to be drawn to scale; you must include angle measures. You will use angle marks and line/hatch marks
to indicate the measures of each angle. In GeoGebra, a pencil tool is available from the ‘arrow’ pull-down menu.
Acute Scalene
Example: acute isosceles
Angle A = 60; Angle B = 70 degrees; Angle C = 50 degrees
Angle A = 70 degrees; Angle B = 70
degrees; Angle C = 40 degrees

Right scalene Obtuse scalene

Angle A = 90; Angle B = 60 degrees; Angle C = 30 degrees Angle A = 40; Angle B = 110 degrees; Angle C = 30 degrees

Right isosceles Obtuse isosceles

Angle A = 45; Angle B = 90 degrees; Angle C = 45 degrees Angle A = 30; Angle B = 30 degrees; Angle C = 120 degrees

Part C:
Based on the information you have learned about proofs, develop your own 2-column proof. You will prove two triangles
are congruent by SSS, SAS, AAS, ASA, or HL. You will list the statements, reasons, and a visual for your proof.

Given: Side FD is congruent to Side CA


Prove: XXXXX

Statements Reasons
1. Side AC is congruent to Side DF Given

2. Side AC and Side DF are congruent to Side Definition of isosceles triangles


AB and Side DE

3. Side BC is congruent to Side EF Bases of isosceles triangles are congruent

4. Triangle FDB is congruent to Triangle CAB Side-Side-Side Postulate
