Problem 4 From Unit 1 Lesson 8
Find the area of the shaded triangle. Show your reasoning.
Problem 5 From Unit 1 Lesson 7
Andre drew a line connecting two opposite corners of a parallelogram. Select all true statements about the triangles created by the line Andre drew.
Each triangle has two sides that are 3 units long.
Each triangle has a side that is the same length as the diagonal line.
Each triangle has one side that is 3 units long.
When one triangle is placed on top of the other and their sides are aligned, we will see that one triangle is larger than the other.
The two triangles have the same area as each other.
Problem 6 From Unit 1 Lesson 3
Here is an octagon.
