Chapter 5 Group Test
1. Write an indirect proof that an obtuse triangle does not have a right angle. Given:RST is an obtuse triangle. Prove:RST does not have a right angle. Let S be an obtuse angle. Assume RST has a right angle. Let R be a right angle. Use direct reasoning to lead to a contradiction. Complete the proof. Def of obtuse Substitution mT < 0 However, by the Protractor Postulate, a triangle cannot have an angle with a measure less than 00. The assumption that has a right angle is false. Therefore, RST does not have a right angle.
18.7 12.3 2. Find the measures BC and AC. AC = AX + XC = 12.3 + 12.3 = 24.6 BC = 18.7
3. The diagram shows the approximate distances from Houston to Dallas and from Austin to Dallas. What is the range of distances, d, from Austin to Houston? 240 < 200 + d and d < 240 + 200 240 - 200 < d and d < 240 + 200 240 – 200 < d < 240 + 200 40 < d < 440

10. Danny and Dana start hiking from the same base camp and head in opposite directions. Danny walks 6 miles due west, then changes direction and walks for 5 miles to point C. Dana hikes 6 miles due east, then changes direction and walks for 5 miles to point S. Use the diagram to find which hiker is farther from the base camp. Danny Hinge Theorem If two sides of one triangle are congruent to two sides of another triangle and the included angles are not congruent, then the longer third side is across from the larger included angle
12. In ABC, mADC > mBDC, AC = 3x + 32, and BC = 7x + 16.
