Practice Test TO THE STUDENT: These b00ks will help you to discover for yourself many important relationships of geometty. Your tools will be the same as those used by the Greek mathematicians more than 2000 year's ago. These tools are a compass and a straightedge. In adcition, you will need a sharpened pencil, The lessons that follow will help you make drawings from which you may learn the most. The answer books show one way the pages may be completed cortectiy. It is possible that your wotk is correct even though Its different. if your answer differs, re-read the instructions to make sure ‘you followed them step by step. Ifyou did, you are probably correct. uel is the best known geometer in all of history. He taught at me ‘Greek school of mathematics in Alexandria, yp. Eucllc also wrote the Homents, a series of 13 books wilten on papyrus rols which summed up all the geomety thal was known in his me. Almost ‘everything that you wil study In Key to Geometry and in elber schoo! (georetry books was contained in The Elements, witlan about 300 8C.more than 2200 years a90. On the cover of this bookle! Euclid draws with a compass ond -taightedge. These two tools of geometry are sometimes called the uclldean fools" because they Were very Important in Buckets Work over at by Howard Coote Copyright © 1878, 1872 by Holden Day, Inc.

XY which passes through Y. x— Solution: il 2. Draw along line through X and Y. Draw two small arcs with center Y and radius XY which intersect the line, 1s one of the paints of intersection X? Label the other point of intersection Z. Draw a large are with center X and radius greater than XY, Use a congruent radius to draw a large arc with center Z. Make the arcs intersect in two points Label the points of intersection U and V. Draw UV. Does UV pass through Y? Does UV bisect segment XZ? 1s UV perpendicular to XZ? Is UV the perpendicular bisector of segment XZ? ES
