1. State precise definitions of angle, circle, perpendicular, parallel, and line segment based on the undefined
notions of point, line, distance along a line, and distance around a circular arc.

2. A rigid motion, J , of the plane takes a point, A , as input and gives C as output (i.e., J ( A )=C ). Similarly,
J ( B )=D for input point B and output point D .
Jerry claims that knowing nothing else about J , we can be sure that AC
´ ≅ BD
´ because rigid motions
preserve distance.
a. Show that Jerry’s claim is incorrect by giving a counterexample (hint: a counterexample would be a
specific rigid motion and four points A , B, C , and D in the plane such that the motion takes A to C
and B to D , yet AC´ ≇ BD
´ ).
b. There is a type of rigid motion for which Jerry’s claim is always true. Which type below is it?
c. Suppose Jerry claimed that AB ´ ≅ CD´ . Would this be true for any rigid motion that satisfies the
conditions described in the first paragraph? Why or why not?
3.
a. In the diagram below, l is a line, A is a point on the line, and B is a point not on the line. C is the
midpoint of AB´ . Show how to create a line parallel to l that passes through B by using a rotation
about C .
b. Suppose that four lines in a given plane, l 1, l 2, m 1, and m 2 are given, with the conditions (also given)
that l 1 ∥l 2, m 1 ∥ m 2, and l 1 is neither parallel nor perpendicular to m 1.
ii. In any diagram that illustrates the given conditions, how many distinct angles are formed?
Count only angles that measure less than 180 ° , and count two angles as the same only if they
have the same vertex and the same edges. Among these angles, how many different angle
measures are formed? Justify your answer.
4. In the figure below, there is a reflection that transforms △ ABC to △ A ' B ' C ' .
Use a straightedge and compass to construct the line of reflection, and list the steps of the construction.
