Problem 7

Lines \(\ell\) and \(p\) are parallel. Select all true statements.

\(\text{Parallel lines }l \text{ and }p \text{ on a coordinate plane, origin } O\)
A:

Triangle \(ADB\) is congruent to triangle \(CEF\).

B:

The slope of line \(\ell\) is equal to the slope of line \(p\).

C:

Triangle \(ADB\) is similar to triangle \(CEF\).

D:

\(\sin(A) = \sin(C)\)

E:

\(\cos(B) = \sin(C)\)

Problem 8

Mai wrote a proof that triangle \(AED\) is congruent to triangle \(CEB\). Mai's proof is incomplete. How can Mai fix her proof?

We know side \(AE\) is congruent to side \(CE\) and angle \(A\) is congruent to angle \(C\). By the Angle-Side-Angle Triangle Congruence Theorem, triangle \(AED\) is congruent to triangle \(CEB\).

\(\angle A \cong \angle C, \overline{AE} \cong \overline{CE}\)

Triangles ADE and CBE meet only at point E. Angles A and C are congruent. Sides AE and CE are congruent.
