    1. The document contains 30 math problems from the 2007 Mu Alpha Theta National Convention. The problems cover a range of geometry topics and require calculating lengths, angles, areas, volumes, and using trigonometric functions. 2. Sample problems include finding the height of a box given its surface area, using alternate interior angles to find an unknown angle, calculating the angle formed by clock hands, and finding the area of a polygon using Heron's formula. 3. The final problem involves calculating the cosine of an angle using the adjacent side and hypotenuse of a right triangle.
