(5 points)
2  x  18   3 x  24 Given
2x – 36 + 3x= 24 distributive property of equality
5x – 36 = 24 simplify
5x – 36 + 36 =24 + 36 addition property of equality
5x = 60 simplify
5x/5 = 60/5 division property of equality
x = 12 simplify

2. Which property is illustrated by the following mathematical statement?

(3 points)

If AB  CD , then CD  AB .

Symmetric property of equality is the property that is illustrated.

3. Explain in your ownwords what the Reflexive Property of Equality is for angle measures and give an
example of it.
(5 points)

The reflexive property of equality stated that angle measure of

one angle is always equal to itself.
In the figure on the right, we
can see that m∠ABC = m∠ABC

4. Given that in the following diagram B is the midpoint of AC , prove that 2AB  AC using a two-column
proof.
(8 points)

Given
B is the midpoint of AC
AB ≅ BC Definition of Midpoint
AB = BC Definition of Congruent Segments
AB + BC = AC Segment Addition Postulate

AB + AB = AC Substitution (from steps 2 and 3)

2AB = AC Simplification

5. Explain what the Transitive Property of Congruence is and give a mathematical example of it.
(5 points)

The Transitive Property of Congruence stated that if the 1st shape is congruence to the 2nd shape and the 2nd
shape is congruence to a 3rd shape, then the 1st shape is congruence to the 3rd shape.

mathematical example: If ∠ABC ≅ ∠DEF and∠DEF ≅ ∠GIH then ∠ ABC ≅ ∠ GIH

6. Given that m1  m2 , prove m4  m5  180 using a two-column proof.
(8 points)

1. m∠ 1=m∠2 Given
2. ∠ 2 and ∠ 4 are a linear pair Definition of linear pair
3.∠ 2 and ∠ 4 are supplementary Linear Pairs Postulate
4. m∠ 4 +m∠2=18 0 ° Definition of supplementary angles
5. ∠ 1 and ∠ 5 are vertical angles Definition of Vertical Angles
6. ∠1 ≅ ∠ 5 Vertical Angles Congruence Theorem
7. m∠ 1=m∠5 Definition of Congruent Angles
8. m∠ 2=m∠ 5 Substitution
m∠ 4 +m∠5=180 Substitution

7. Find the measure of each angle in the following diagram.

(8 points)

∠Abd and ∠cbe are vertical angles

∠abd ≅ ∠cbe
∠abd =∠cbe
10x - 18 = 4x + 6
10x - 4x - 18 = 4x + 6 – 4x
10x - 4x -18 = 6
10x - 4x - 18+18 = 6 + 18
6x = 24
6x/6 = 24/6

X=4
M∠abd = 10x - 18
M∠abd = 10 * 4– 18
M∠abd = 220
M∠cbe = 220
∠cbe and ∠abc are linear pair
∠cbe and ∠abc are supplementary
M∠cbe + m∠abc = 1800
220 + m∠abc = 1800
M∠abc = 1800 – 220
M∠abc = 1580
∠dbe and ∠abc are vertical angles
∠dbe ≅ ∠abc
∠dbe = ∠abc = 1580
∠dbe= 1580

>>> mABD  220

>>> mABC  1580
>>> mDBE  1580
>>> mCBE  220

8. Given that 1  2 , prove that 3  4 using a two-column proof.
