Top edge
In which laptop is the distance from the top edge of
the screen to the front edge of the keyboard greater?
Explain.

Laptop B; the lengths of the laptops’ keyboards and
screens are the same. Laptop B is open wider, so the
hinge angle is greater than it is for Laptop A.

10. The diagram shows two paths that lead through a park.
Would a jogger run a greater distance on Path A or Path B?
Explain.
Path A; the paths have two pairs of congruent sides, but
Path A angles off at 268, while Path B angles off at 258.
The longer side is the one opposite the greater angle.
