Question

  1. find the length of $overline{xy}$. explain how you found your answer.
  2. a map shows a section of highway 18 that forms a straight line. a family plans to drive 440 miles on highway 18 from springfield to columbia. they drive for 66 miles, and then decide they will stop halfway through their trip to rest for the night. how much farther do they need to drive before they stop for the night?
  3. point $m$ is between points $l$ and $n$ on $overline{ln}$. $ln = 6x$, $lm = 4x + 8$, and $mn = 27$. use the information to solve for $x$, and then find $ln$.

use the diagram.

  1. give another name for line $s$.
  2. name three points that are coplanar.
  3. name three points that are collinear.
  4. give another name for plane $k$.
  5. plot the points in a coordinate plane. then determine whether $overline{ab}$ and $overline{cd}$ are congruent: $a(-2,1), b(2,1), c(3,2), d(3, - 2)$.

Explanation:

Response
1.

Step1: Identify segment parts

The length of $\overline{XY}$ is the sum of the lengths of $\overline{XZ}$ and $\overline{ZY}$.
$XZ = 6$ and $ZY=12$.

Step2: Calculate length of $\overline{XY}$

$XY=XZ + ZY$.
$XY=6 + 12=18$.

Step1: Find halfway - point of trip

The total trip is $440$ miles. The halfway - point is $\frac{440}{2}=220$ miles.

Step2: Calculate remaining distance

They have already driven $66$ miles. So the remaining distance $d$ is $220−66 = 154$ miles.

Step1: Set up equation based on segment addition

Since $L - M - N$, $LN=LM + MN$. Substitute the given expressions: $6x=(4x + 8)+27$.

Step2: Solve for $x$

First, simplify the right - hand side: $6x=4x+35$. Then subtract $4x$ from both sides: $6x−4x=4x + 35−4x$, which gives $2x=35$, so $x=\frac{35}{2}=17.5$.

Step3: Find $LN$

Substitute $x = 17.5$ into the expression for $LN$. $LN = 6x=6\times17.5 = 105$.

Answer:

$18$
