Answer - 7 units
Bisectors in Triangles Quiz Part 1 - 8 questions
1. Find the length of the midsegment. The diagram is not to scale.
Answer - C. 40
2. Use the information in the diagram to determine the height of the tree.
Answer - A. 60
3. Which statement is not necessarily true? Given: DE is the bisector of JL
Answer - A. DK=KE
4. Find the circumcenter of the triangle.
Answer - B. (-5/2, -2)
5. Where is the circumcenter of any given triangle?
Answer - B. the point of concurrency of the perpendicular bisectors of the sides of the triangle
6. Where can the perpendicular bisectors of the sides of a right triangle intersect?
Answer - B. II only
7. What part of the coordinate plane is equidistant from the points A(-3,2) and B(3,2)? Explain your answer.
Answer - all points on a line perpendicular to the line between those two points and through a point halfway between the two points
m = (Y2-Y1)/(X2-X1) slope between
m' = -1/m slope of perpendicular, the line we want
y = m' x + b
to get b (point halfway between)
average x = (-3+3)/2 = 0
average y = (2+2)/2 = 2
so through (0 , 2)
2 = m' * 0 + b
b = 2
y = m' x + 2
8. Lisa, Bree, and Caleb are meeting at an amusement park. They each enter at a different gate. On this diagram of the park, explain how the friends could calculate the point that is equidistant from all three gates.
Answer - First, you should make a triangle out of all of the points. Then you will find the midpoint of it all. Last, make lines from the midpoint to each point that is adjacent. That's where you will see there intersection.
I don't have the answers to the second half of the quiz. It differs for everybody. But besides that, 100% Hope this helps!
