Keisha, Dwayne, and Lonzell are planning for anew bridge to replace the old bridge. The newbridge will start at point B, where Dwayne isstanding, and end at point C, where Keisha isstanding. Lonzell walks to point D and thenwalks parallel to the river until he reaches pointE where he sees Dwayne and Keisha arealigned. Why is the distance from E to B thelength of the new bridge?Old BridgeNew BridgeIt is given thatbecause they are vertical angles.because they are alternateinterior angles. Therefore, ABAC is congruent to ABDE bySo, CB BE because the corresponding parts ofcongruent triangles are congruent. This means that the distance from E to B is the length of the new bridge.30 ft30 ft

Fanoan philosophers have long been troubled by the difference between points and lines. There are many similarities (for example, there are 7 of each); why are they different? Represent each line by a new point; for each old point, take the 3 lines through it, and connect the 3 new points representing them by a (new) line. What structure do you get?

Dr. Dorothy Smith gave the students in her geometry class at the University of New Orleans the following question. Is it possible to construct a triangle such that the second angle of the triangle has a measure that is twice the measure of the first angle and the measure of the third angle is 5 times the measure of the first? If so, find the measure of each angle.
