Instructions: Answer all questions to the best of your ability. Show your work in the space provided.

Part 1: Identifying Lines & Transversals

A B D C E F H G

Use the figure of the cube to answer questions 1-3.

1. Name a line segment that is parallel to $\overline{AB}$.

2. Name a line segment that is skew to $\overline{CG}$.

3. Name a transversal that intersects parallel lines $\overline{AD}$ and $\overline{EH}$.

Part 2: Angle Relationships

l m t 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8

Use the figure to answer questions 4-6. Assume line $l \parallel m$.

4. Name a pair of corresponding angles.

5. If $m\angle3 = 75^\circ$, what is $m\angle5$?

6. The relationship between $\angle4$ and $\angle5$ is called:

Part 3: Distance & Midpoint Formulas

7. Find the distance between points A(-3, 4) and B(5, -2).
Formula: $d = \sqrt{(x_2 - x_1)^2 + (y_2 - y_1)^2}$

8. Find the midpoint of the segment with endpoints C(8, -1) and D(-2, 7).
Formula: $M = \left(\frac{x_1 + x_2}{2}, \frac{y_1 + y_2}{2}\right)$

9. A line segment has one endpoint at E(2, 5) and its midpoint at M(6, 1). Find the coordinates of the other endpoint, F.
