6. The Four Corners National Monument is at the intersection of the

borders of Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico, and Utah. It is called Wyoming
the four corners because the intersecting borders are perpendicular.
If you were to lie down on the intersection, you could be in four states Utah Colorado
at the same timethe only place in the United States where this is
Arizona New
possible. The figure shows the Colorado-Utah border extending north Mexico
in a straight line until it intersects the Wyoming border at a right angle.
Explain why the Colorado-Wyoming border must be parallel to the
ColoradoNew Mexico border. Possible answer:
All the borders are straight lines, and the ColoradoUtah border is a transversal
to the ColoradoWyoming and the ColoradoNew Mexico borders. Because the
transversal is perpendicular to both borders, the borders must be parallel.

An aquifer is an underground storehouse of water. The water is in tiny crevices and
pockets in the rock or sand, but because aquifers underlay large areas of land, the
amount of water in an aquifer can be vast. Wells and springs draw water from aquifers.
10. Two relatively small aquifers are the Rush Springs (RS) aquifer and the Arbuckle-
Simpson (AS) aquifer, both in Oklahoma. Suppose that starting on a certain day
in 1985, 52 million gallons of water per day were taken from the RS aquifer, and
8 million gallons of water per day were taken from the AS aquifer. If the RS aquifer
began with 4500 million gallons of water and the AS aquifer began with 3000 million
gallons of water and no rain fell, write a slope-intercept equation for each aquifer

Possible answer: Raleigh needs to find the incircle of the triangle. The
incircle just touches all three sides of the triangle, so it is the largest
circle that will fit. The incenter can be found by drawing the angle
bisector from each vertex of the triangle. The incircle is drawn with the
incenter as the center and a radius equal to the distance to one of the sides.
8. The cars logo is the triangle shown in the figure. Raleigh has to

Possible answer: Raleigh needs to find the circumcircle

vertices of the triangle, so it fits just around it. The
circumcenter can be found by drawing the perpendicular bisectors of the
sides of the triangle. The circumcircle is drawn with the circumcenter as

5-5 Indirect Proof and Inequalities in One Triangle
Write an indirect proof that the angle measures of a "
triangle cannot add to more than 180.
1. State the assumption that starts the indirect proof.

180 !
# $
2. Use the Exterior Angle Theorem and the Linear Pair Theorem to write the indirect proof.
Possible answer: Assume that m1 m2 m3
180. 4 is an
exterior angle of ABC, so by the Exterior Angle Theorem, m1
m2 m4. 3 and 4 are a linear pair, so by the Linear Pair
Theorem, m3 m4 180. Substitution leads to the conclusion that
m1 m2 m3 180, which contradicts the assumption. Thus
the assumption is false, and the sum of the angle measures of a triangle
cannot add to more than 180. 2 1 8

chase after them. The first person to the bottom wins cheese. Renaldo wants to go to the
Cheese Rolling. He plans to leave from Atlanta and fly into London (4281 miles). On the
return, he will fly back from London to New York City (3470 miles) to visit his aunt. Then
Renaldo heads back to Atlanta. Atlanta, New York City, and London do not lie on the

8. You have used a compass to copy and bisect segments and angles and to draw
arcs and circles. A compass has a drawing leg, a pivot leg, and a hinge at the
angle between the legs. Explain why and how the measure of the angle at the
hinge changes if you draw two circles with different diameters.
Possible answer: The legs of a compass and the length spanned by it
form a triangle, but the lengths of the legs cannot change. Therefore any
two settings of the compass are subject to the Hinge Theorem. To draw
a larger-diameter circle, the measure of the hinge angle must be made
larger. To draw a smaller-diameter circle, the measure of the hinge
angle must be made smaller.

Possible answer: The triangle is obtuse, so Kitty is correct. But Kitty
did not use the Pythagorean Inequalities Theorem correctly. The measure
of the longest side should be substituted for c, so 169 64 256 is
the inequality that shows that the triangle is obtuse.
