3. Two vehicles, each moving from a point in a straight line away from each other at an angle, are 150 feet apart after 6 seconds. Both are moving at a constant rate, vehicle A at 50 feet per second and vehicle B at 40 feet per second.
How far apart are they after 15 seconds?
[pic]
4. Line segments AC and BD intersect at E, as shown in the figure. [pic], DE = 10,
BE = 15, and CE = 20. What is the measure of [pic]?
[pic]

1. 2.
3. 4.
5. A 16 foot ladder rests against the side of the house, and the base of the ladder is 4 feet away. Approximately how high above the ground is the top of the ladder?
6. Find the area of an isosceles triangle with side lengths 10 meters, 13 meters and 13 meters.
Tell whether the given triangle is a right triangle.
8. 9.
Tell whether a triangle with the given side lengths is a right triangle.
10. 4, [pic] 8 11. 10, 11, and 14 12. 5, 6, and [pic]
Classifying Triangles
c2 = a2 + b2 also written a2 + b2= c2
c2 < a2 + b2 also written a2 + b2 > c2
c2 > a2 + b2 also written a2 + b2 < c2
13. Can segments with lengths of 4.3 feet, 5.2 feet, and 6.1 feet form a triangle? If so, would the triangle be acute, right, or obtuse?
14. Show that segments with lengths 3, 4, and 6 can form a triangle and classify the triangle as acute, right, or obtuse
