THINK AND DISCUSS 1. Yes; no; since PY = QY = 3, Y is the midpoint −− of PQ, and thus by the def. of bisector,  is a −− −− bisector of PQ. If  is the ⊥ bisector of PQ, then PX would equal QX by the ⊥ Bisector Thm. However, PX = 8.5 and QX = 8.4, so  is not the ⊥ bisector −− of PQ. 2. No; although MJ = ML, to apply the Conv. of the −− −− ∠ Bisector Thm., you must know that MJ ⊥ KJ −− −− and ML ⊥ KL.

32. Possible answer: By stating that the point must be in the int. of the ∠, the thm. implies that it must be in the same plane as the ∠. It is possible for a point to be equidistant from the sides of an ∠ but to lie in a different plane. In the diagram, ∠ABC is in plane Z, and P is equidistant from the sides of ∠ABC, but P does not lie in plane Z. Thus P cannot be on the bisector of the ∠, because the bisector must lie in the same plane as the ∠.

Estimate the quotient 220 ÷ 23 by rounding 220 to 225 and 23 to 25. Since 225 ÷ 25 = 9, city can put about 9 parking spaces on one side of the street. So the total number of parking spaces is about 2(9), or 18.

GUIDED PRACTICE

1. Possible answer: To prove something indirectly, you assume the opposite of what you are trying to prove. Then you use logic to lead to a contradiction of given information, a definition, a postulate, or a previously proven theorem. You can then conclude that the assumption was false and the original statement is true.

However, a scalene  by definition has no sides. So ABC is not scalene, which contradicts the given information. This means the assumption is false, and therefore ABC can not have 2 . 3. Possible answer: −− Given: PQR is an isosc.  with base PR. Prove: PQR cannot have a base ∠ that is a rt. ∠. Proof: Assume that PQR has a base ∠ that is a rt. ∠. Let ∠P be the rt. ∠. By the Isosc.  Theorem, ∠P ∠R, so ∠R is also a rt. ∠. By the definition of rt. , m∠P = m∠R = 90°. By the  Sum Theorem, m∠P + m∠Q + m∠R = 180°. By Subst. m∠Q = 0°. However, a  cannot have an ∠ with a measure of 0°. So there is no PQR, which contradicts the given information. This means the assumption is false, and therefore PQR can not have a base ∠ that is rt. −− 4. The shortest side is PQ, so the smallest ∠ is ∠R. −− The longest side is PR, so the greatest ∠ is ∠Q.  from smallest to greatest are ∠R, ∠P, ∠Q.

Add the 2 inequals., m∠J + m∠K > 180°. However, by the definition of supp. , m∠J + m∠K = 180°. So m∠J + m∠K > 180° contradicts the given information.

58. Possible answer: Assume that the client committed the burglary. A person who commits a burglary must be present at the scene when the crime is committed.

Therefore the client did not commit the burglary.

Since the hyp. is the side opposite the rt. ∠, the hyp. is the longest side by Thm 5-5-2. Similarly, the diagonal of a square forms 2 rt. , with the diagonal being the hyp. of each. Since the diagonal is longer than the leg lengths in both , the diagonal is longer than the side length of the square.

Possible answer: Outer figure: The length of each side is a + b, so the outer figure has 4 sides. Each ∠ is a rt. ∠ from one of the rt. , so the outer figure has 4 rt. . By definition, it is a square. Inner figure: The length of each side is c, so the inner figure has 4 sides. The 2 acute of a rt.  are comp., so the measure of each ∠ in the inner figure is 90°. Therefore the inner figure has 4 rt. . By definition, it is a square.

You substitute the known values into a 2 + b 2 = c 2 and solve for the unknown side length. When you use the Converse of Pythagorean Theorem, you are trying to find out whether a given  is a rt. . Usually all side lengths are known. You substitute all the values into a 2 + b 2 = c 2 to determine whether the resulting equation is true. If it is true, then you know that the  is a rt. .

Since a 2 + b 2 = c 2, and 2 2 2 2 2 a + b = x , it follows by subst. that x = c . Take the positive square root of both sides, and x = c. So AB = PQ, BC = QR, and AC = PR. −− −− −− −− By the definition of  segs., AB  PQ, BC  QR , −− −− and AC  PR . Then ABC  PQR by SSS, and ∠C  ∠R by CPCTC. By the definition of rt. ∠, m∠R = 90°.

42. Possible answer: Given: ABC Prove: ABC cannot have 2 obtuse . Proof: Assume that ABC has 2 obtuse . Let ∠A and ∠B be the obtuse . By the definition of obtuse, m∠A > 90° and m∠B > 90°. If the 2 inequalities are added, m∠A + m∠B > 180°. However, by the  Sum Theorem, m∠A + m∠B + m∠C = 180°. So m∠A + m∠B = 180° - m∠C. But then 180° - m∠C > 180° by subst., and thus m∠C < 0°. A  cannot have an ∠ with a measure less than 0°. So the assumption that ABC has 2 obtuse  is false. Therefore a  cannot have 2 obtuse .
