HW problem 1:
Use Geometer’s Sketchpad to construct a rectangle whose
side lengths are in the ratio of 2:1 without using the
perpendicular, parallel, or midpoint options in the construct
menu, and without constructing any circles.
HW Problem 2:
Construct the letter
A using Geometer’s Sketchpad.
A
Your
must be perfectly vertical and symmetric. In other
words, it cannot look like this
or this
.
HW Problem 3:
Construct a line segment AB using Geometer’s Sketchpad.
Without changing line segment AB in any way, construct a
rhombus (not a square) so that AB is a diagonal of the
rhombus.
4. Using Geometer’s Sketchpad, construct a regular pentagon with two
diagonals, as shown below.
a. Conjecture a relationship between the lengths of AC and CP. Prove your
conjecture.
b. Compute and display the ratio of BP to AP. Compute and display the
ratio of AB to AD. Compute and display the ratio of AD to AP.
c. Conjecture a relationship between the three ratios found in part (b).
d. Is there any special significance to the value of this ratio? Explain.

7. Recall problem 3 from Homework # 6:
A
“In the diagram, AB  CD , mADC = 63, mDCA = 41, and
mACB = 104. Compute the measure of ABC.”
Part of the solution was to “Flip triangle ABC so that
points C and A are reversed.” Use Geometer’s Sketchpad
B
to construct the diagram (with the correct angle measures)
C
and then verify the solution by “flipping” triangle ABC so
that points C and A are reversed and verifying that ABC  DAC.
Do NOT email your construction to me. Be prepared to share your method of
construction with the class next time.

Dilations
Use Geometer’s Sketchpad to construct an acute triangle ABC near the
lower left of the screen.
Construct a triangle similar to, but not congruent to ABC.
A dilation is a transformation that
1. preserves angle measure and
2. changes lengths proportionally.
P
When a figure is dilated using scale
factor k, the image is k times as far
from the center of the dilation as the
original figure.

PRACTICE WITH DILATION:
Use Geometer’s Sketchpad to construct right triangle ABC in which
mABC = 30 and mACB = 60. Then construct point D so that
AD = 13 (AB). Make a conjecture about how CD and DB are related.
Are there any similar triangles in this diagram? If so, name them.
