Suppose that Ada, Bada, and Cada are three cities and that Bada is 20 miles from Ada, Cada is 30 miles from Bada, and Ada is 40 miles from Cada. There are straight-line roads between Ada and Bada, Ada and Cada, Bada and Cada. Draw a careful and precise map showing Ada, Bada, and Cadaand the roads between them, using a scale of 10 miles to 1 inch. Describe how to use a compass to make a precise drawing. If you were to draw another map, or if you were to compare your map to a classmate’s, how would they compare? In what ways would the maps differ? In what ways would they be the same? Which criterion for triangle congruence is most relevant to these questions?

Suppose that Ada, Bada, and Cada are three cities and that Bada is 20 miles from Ada, Cada is 30 miles from Bada, and Ada is 40 miles from Cada. There are straight-line roads between Ada and Bada, Ada and Cada, Bada and Cada.

  1. Draw a careful and precise map showing Ada, Bada, and Cadaand the roads between them, using a scale of 10 miles to 1 inch. Describe how to use a compass to make a precise drawing.
  2. If you were to draw another map, or if you were to compare your map to a classmate’s, how would they compare? In what ways would the maps differ? In what ways would they be the same? Which criterion for triangle congruence is most relevant to these questions?
