is 60 units long and contains points B, C, and D, in that order, and

B is the midpoint of AC
the ratio of CD to DE is 2:3
D is the midpoint of CE

Find AD.

Problem 2)

What is the definition of perpendicular lines? Hint: Although they form 90-degree angles, this is not the definition.

Problem 3)

Adam believes that every relationship is a transitive relationship. Which of the following is an example which demonstrates that he's wrong? a) Point P is a distance of 5 from point Q, and point Q is a distance of 5 from point R. b) Triangle T is congruent to triangle U, and U is congruent to V. c) Triangle T is similar to triangle U, and U is similar to V. d) Number x is less than y, and y is less than z.

Problem 4)

then

. This fact is called ______________.

Problem 5)

a) State the definition of supplementary angles. b) Could vertical angles be supplementary? If so, what can you infer about them? c) Could two interior angles in a triangle be supplementary? If so what can you infer about them? d) State the definition of complementary angles. e) Could vertical angles be complementary? If so, what can you infer about them? f) Could two interior angles in a triangle be complementary? If so, what can you infer about the triangle?
