##### Problem 1

1) Which of the following criteria always proves triangles congruent? Select all that apply. Write each corresponding letter in the answer box and separate letters with commas.

a) 3 congruent angles ﻿$\quad\quad$﻿ b) 3 congruent sides ﻿$\quad\quad$﻿ c) Corresponding congruent Side-Angle-Side ﻿$\quad\quad$﻿ d) Corresponding congruent Side-Side-Angle ﻿$\quad\quad$﻿ e) Corresponding congruent Angle-Side-Angle

##### Problem 2

2) Here are some measurements for triangle ﻿$ABC$﻿ and triangle ﻿$XYZ$﻿:

• Angle ﻿$ABC$﻿ and angle ﻿$XYZ$﻿ are both 30﻿$\degree$﻿
• ﻿$BC$﻿ and ﻿$YZ$﻿ both measure 6 units
• ﻿$CA$﻿ and ﻿$ZX$﻿ both measure 4 units

Lin thinks thinks these triangles must be congruent. Priya says she knows they might not be congruent. Construct 2 triangles with the given measurements that aren't congruent.

3) Explain why triangles with 3 congruent parts aren't necessarily congruent.

##### Problem 3

Jada states that diagonal ﻿$WY$﻿ bisects angles ﻿$ZWX$﻿ and ﻿$ZYX$﻿.

4) Is she correct?

True or false? Write below.

##### Problem 4

6) Select all true statements based on the diagram. Write each corresponding letter in the answer box and separate letters with commas.

a) Angle ﻿$CBE$﻿ is congruent to angle ﻿$DEA$﻿. ﻿$\quad\quad$﻿ b) Angle ﻿$CEB$﻿ is congruent to angle ﻿$DEA$﻿. ﻿$\quad\quad$﻿ c) Segment ﻿$DA$﻿ is congruent to segment ﻿$CB$﻿. ﻿$\quad\quad$﻿ d) Segment ﻿$DC$﻿ is congruent to segment ﻿$AB$﻿. ﻿$\quad\quad$﻿ e) Line ﻿$DC$﻿ is parallel to line ﻿$AB$﻿. ﻿$\quad\quad$﻿ f) Line ﻿$DA$﻿ is parallel to line ﻿$CD$﻿.

##### Problem 5

7) ﻿$WXYZ$﻿ is a kite. Angle ﻿$WXY$﻿ has a measure of 94 degrees and angle ﻿$ZWX$﻿ has a measure of 112 degrees. Find the measure of angle ﻿$ZYW$﻿.

##### Problem 6

Andre is thinking through a proof using a reflection to show that a triangle is isosceles given that its base angles are congruent. Complete the missing information for his proof.

Construct ﻿$AB$﻿ such that ﻿$AB$﻿ is the perpendicular bisector of segment ﻿$CD$﻿. We know angle ﻿$ADB$﻿ is congruent to 1 . ﻿$DB$﻿ is congruent to 2 since ﻿$AB$﻿ is the perpendicular bisector of ﻿$CD$﻿. Angle 3 is congruent to angle 4 because they are both right angles. Triangle ﻿$ABC$﻿ is congruent to triangle 5 because of the 6 Triangle Congruence Theorem. ﻿$AD$﻿ is congruent to 7 because they are corresponding parts of congruent triangles. Therefore, triangle ﻿$ADC$﻿ is an isosceles triangle.

Fill in the blanks using items from the Bank of Terms below. Some items might be used more than once.
