a) Name each of these three shapes.
b) The endpoint A of AB is at (1,3). The midpoint is at (4,8). Where is B? Graph them.
c) Find the three quarterpoints along AB where A = (2,4) and B = (10, -4).
d) What is m < ?
e) What is the midpoint between (3,-10) and (-5, -10)?
f) Name the angle <2 in every way you can:
g) Define collinear?
$528,783,552,000 (I did a coy unveiling here, first writing $528 and then as they freaked out, writing the next three digits and so on.)
Backstory here:
Underline must, never, and every in the first three. Ask ‘em how many examples it takes to prove must, never, and every wrong. (hint: one) 1

3. 2. A Quick Word on Assumption
a) When you assume:
“ ”
You make an ass out of you and me. a b c d
b) Which lines are parallel?
a || c
c) Which lines are perpendicular b c d a
none
How about now?
ab bc

2. A Quick Word on Assumption
Things you may not assume:
You may not assume that just because two lines or segments look parallel that they are parallel—they must be marked parallel!
You may not assume that two lines are perpendicular just because they look perpendicular—they must be marked perpendicular!
Pairs of angles, segments, or polygons are not necessarily congruent unless they are marked with information that tells you they must be congruent!

a) Make an ass out of Mrs. Paunovska.
Sample Test Question a b c f e d
Write the congruency statement:
Yes! They “look” congruent but nothing has been marked congruent!...So the triangles are NOT CONGRUENT
