This document contains a figure with 9 points (A, B, C, etc.) and asks the reader to determine if 8 statements about the figure are true or false. It also contains sample homework questions about measuring and constructing segments, including finding lengths of segments when points are midpoints or distances between points are given. The document provides practice determining lengths, relationships between parts of segments, and constructing segments based on given information.
