<strong>Answers</strong> to Exercises<br />

USING YOUR ALGEBRA SKILLS 3<br />

1. perpendicular<br />

2. neither<br />

3. perpendicular<br />

4. parallel<br />

5. possible answer: (2, 5) and (7, 11)<br />

6. possible answer: (1, 5) and (2, 12)<br />

7. Ordinary; no two slopes are the same, so no<br />

sides are parallel, although TE EM because their<br />

slopes are opposite reciprocals.<br />

8. Ordinary, for the same reason as in Exercise 7—<br />

none of the sides are quite parallel.<br />

9. trapezoid: KC RO<br />

10a. Slope HA slope ND 1<br />

6 ;<br />

slope HD slope NA 6. Quadrilateral HAND<br />

is a rectangle because opposite sides are parallel<br />

and adjacent sides are perpendicular.<br />

10b. Midpoint HN midpoint AD 1<br />

diagonals of a rectangle bisect each other.<br />

11a. Yes, the diagonals are perpendicular.<br />

Slope OE 1; slope VR 1.<br />

11b. Midpoint VR midpoint OE (2, 4).<br />

The diagonals of OVER bisect each other.<br />

11c. OVER appears to be a rhombus. Slope<br />

2 ,3.The<br />

OV slope RE 1<br />

5 and slope OR slope<br />

VE 5, so opposite sides are parallel. Also, all of<br />

the sides appear to have the same length.<br />

12a. Both slopes equal 1<br />

2 .<br />

12b. The segments are not parallel because they<br />

are coincident.<br />

12c. distinct<br />

13. (3, 6)
