12. Complete the Investigation on page 32:

In this lesson, you encountered many new geometry terms. In this investigation you will work as a group to identify models from the real world that represent these terms and to identify how they are represented in diagrams.

Step 1 Look around your classroom and identify examples of each of these terms: point, line, plane, line segment, congruent segments, midpoint of a segment, and ray.

Step 2 Identify examples of these terms in the photograph on page 32 in your textbook.

Step 3 Identify examples of these terms in the figure below.

Step 4 Explain in your own words what each of these terms means.

1. Angle

2. Vertex

3. Sides

4. Measure of an angle

5. Degrees

6. Reflex measure of an angle

7. Congruent

8. Angle Bisector

9. Incoming angle

10. Outgoing angle

Complete the INVESTIGATION on page 41:

You will need: the worksheet Poolroom Math, a protractor

Pocket billiards, or pool, is a game of angles. When a ball bounces off the pool tables cushion, its path forms two angles with the edge of the cushion. The incoming angle is formed by the cushion and the path of the ball approaching the cushion.

The outgoing angle is formed by the cushion and the path of the ball leaving the cushion. As it turns out, the measure of the outgoing angle equals the measure of the incoming angle.

Use your protractor to study these shots on the diagram below.

Step 1 Use your protractor to find the measure of angle1. Which is the correct outgoing angle? Which pointA or B will the ball hit?

Step 2 Which point on the cushionW, X, or Yshould the white ball hit so that the ray of the outgoing angle passes through the center of the 8-ball?

Step 3 Compare your results with your group members results. Does everyone agree?

Step 4 How would you hit the white ball against the cushion so that the ball passes over the same spot on the way back?

Step 5 How would you hit the ball so that it bounces off three different points on the cushions without ever touching cushion line CP?

INVESTIGATION 1.8 Space Geometry.

Use the space below each statement for your sketches and answers.

Step 1 Make a sketch or use physical objects to demonstrate each statement in the list below.

Step 2 Work with your group to determine whether each statement is true or false. If the statement is false, draw a picture and explain why it is false.

1. For any two points, there is exactly one line that can be drawn through them.

2. For any line and a point not on the line, there is exactly one plane that can contain them.

3. For any two lines, there is exactly one plane that contains them.

4. If two coplanar lines are both perpendicular to a third line in the same plane, then the two lines are parallel.

5. If two planes do not intersect, then they are parallel.

6. If two lines do not intersect, then they are parallel.

7. If a line is perpendicular to two lines in a plane, and the line is not contained in the plane, then the line is perpendicular to the plane.

1.9 A Picture is Worth a Thousand Words

LEQ: How are word problems solved by translating written information into a labeled diagram?

Read and answer examples A, B and C below.

By drawing diagrams, you apply visual thinking to problem solving. Lets look at some examples that show how to use visual thinking to solve word problems.

Example A

Volumes 1 and 2 of a two-volume set

of math books sit next to each other

on a shelf. They sit in their proper

order: Volume 1 on the left and

Volume 2 on the right. Each front and

back cover is _18

_-inch thick, and the

pages portion of each book is 1-inch

thick. If a bookworm starts at the first

page of Volume 1 and burrows all the

way through to the last page of

Volume 2, how far will it travel?
