Answer the questions below. Make sure to show your work and
provide complete geometric explanations for full credit.
1. A triangle has side lengths 10, 15, and 7. Is the triangle
acute, obtuse, or right? Show your work and explain.
2. A highway makes an angle of 6 with the horizontal. This
angle is maintained for a horizontal distance of 5 miles.
To the nearest hundredth of a mile, how high does the highway
rise in this 5-mile section? Show the steps you use to find the
distance.
3. A forest ranger spots a fire from a 28-foot tower. The angle
of depression from the tower to the fire is 11.
13. To the nearest foot, how far is the fire from the base of the
tower? Show the steps you use to find the solution.
4. State whether the transformation appears to be a rigid
motion. Explain.
5. How can you verify Euler’s formula for this net of a cube?

circles are each 1.25 m long. Find the total length of wrought
iron used to make the structure. Round the answer to the nearest
meter. Show your work.

area and area of one base was about 3000 square centimeters.
The vase had a height of 50 centimeters. Find the radius of the
vase. Explain the method you would use to find the radius.
9. A design on the surface of a balloon is 5 cm wide when the
15. balloon holds 71 cm of air. How much air does the balloon hold
