22. The platform stays parallel to the floor<br />
because opposite sides of a rectangle are parallel<br />
(a rectangle is a parallelogram).<br />
23. The crosswalks form a parallelogram: The<br />
streets are of different widths, so the crosswalks are<br />
of different lengths. The streets would have to meet<br />
at right angles for the crosswalks to form a rectangle.<br />
The corners would have to be right angles and the<br />
streets would also have to be of the same width for<br />
the crosswalk to form a square.<br />
24. Place one side of the ruler along one side of<br />
the angle. Draw a line with the other side of the<br />
ruler. Repeat with the other side of the angle. Draw<br />
a line from the vertex of the angle to the point<br />
where the two lines meet.<br />
25. Rotate your ruler so that each endpoint of the<br />
segment barely shows on each side of the ruler.<br />
Draw the parallel lines on each side of your ruler.<br />
Now rotate your ruler the other way and repeat the<br />
process to get a rhombus. The original segment is<br />
one diagonal of the rhombus. The other diagonal<br />
will be the perpendicular bisector of the original<br />
segment.<br />

Given: 1 2 3 4<br />
Show: ABCD is a rectangle<br />
By the Quadrilateral Sum Conjecture, m1 <br />
m2 m3 m4 360°. It is given that all<br />
four angles are congruent, so each angle measures<br />

90°. Because 4 and 5 form a linear pair,<br />
m4 m5 180°. Substitute 90° for m4 and<br />
solve to get m5 90°. By definition of congruent<br />
angles, 5 3, and 5 and 3 are alternate<br />
interior angles, so AD BC by the Converse of the<br />
Parallel Lines Conjecture. Similarly, 1 and 5 are<br />
congruent corresponding angles, so AB CD by the<br />
Converse of the Parallel Lines Conjecture. Thus,<br />
ABCD is a parallelogram by the definition of<br />
parallelogram. Because it is an equiangular<br />
parallelogram, ABCD is a rectangle.<br />
