A geometry corrective exercise consisting of multiple choice questions, matching exercises, and short answer problems. The questions cover various topics such as conjectures, biconditional statements, conditional statements, and geometric proofs. Students are required to identify patterns, write justifications for each step, and prove statements using logical reasoning and geometric postulates.

Multiple Choice Identify the choice that best completes the statement or answers the question.
____ 1. Make a table of values for the rule x^2 ā 16 x + 64 when x is an integer from 1 to 6. Make a conjecture about the type of number generated by the rule. Continue your table. What value of x generates a counterexample? a. The pattern appears to be an decreasing set of perfect squares. x = 9 generates a counterexample. b. The pattern appears to be a decreasing set of prime numbers. x = 8 generates a counterexample. c. The pattern appears to be a decreasing set of perfect squares. x = 7 generates a counterexample. d. The pattern appears to be an increasing set of perfect squares. x = 8 generates a counterexample.
____ 2. Write the definition as a biconditional. An acute angle is an angle whose measure is less than 90 °. a. An angle is acute if its measure is less than 90 °. b. An angle is acute if and only if its measure is less than 90 °. c. An angleās measure is less than 90 ° if it is acute. d. An angle is acute if and only if it is not obtuse.
____ 3. Write a justification for each step.
mā JKL = 100 °
mā JKL = mā JKM + mā MKL [1] 100 ° = ( 6 x + 8 )° + ( 2 x ā 4 )° Substitution Property of Equality 100 = 8 x + 4 Simplify. 96 = 8 x Subtraction Property of Equality 12 = x (^) [2] x = (^12) Symmetric Property of Equality
a. [1] Transitive Property of Equality [2] Division Property of Equality b. [1] Angle Addition Postulate [2] Division Property of Equality c. [1] Angle Addition Postulate [2] Simplify. d. [1] Segment Addition Postulate [2] Multiplication Property of Equality

____ 4. There is a myth that a duckās quack does not echo. A group of scientists observed a duck in a special room, and they found that the quack does echo. Therefore, the myth is false. Is the conclusion a result of inductive or deductive reasoning? a. Since the conclusion is based on a pattern of observation, it is a result of inductive reasoning. b. Since the conclusion is based on a pattern of observation, it is a result of deductive reasoning. c. Since the conclusion is based on logical reasoning from scientific research, it is a result of inductive reasoning. d. Since the conclusion is based on logical reasoning from scientific research, it is a result of deductive reasoning.
____ 5. Fill in the blanks to complete the two-column proof. Given : ā 1 and ā 2 are supplementary. mā 1 = 135°
Prove : mā 2 = 45°
Proof : Statements Reasons
a. [1] mā 2 = 135° [2] Definition of supplementary angles [3] Subtraction Property of Equality b. [1] mā 1 = 135° [2] Definition of supplementary angles [3] Substitution Property c. [1] mā 1 = 135° [2] Definition of supplementary angles [3] Subtraction Property of Equality d. [1] mā 1 = 135° [2] Definition of complementary angles [3] Subtraction Property of Equality

____ 24. a style of proof in which the statements are written in the left-hand column and the reasons are written in the right-hand column
____ 25. a style of proof that uses boxes and arrows to show the structure of the proof
____ 26. a style of proof in which the statements and reasons are presented in paragraph form
____ 27. a statement that has been proven
____ 28. an argument that uses logic to show that a conclusion is true
