options: Solve problems involving scale drawings of geometric figures, including computing actual lengths and areas from a scale drawing and reproducing a scale drawing at a different scale.

Draw (freehand, with ruler and protractor, and with technology) geometric shapes with given conditions. Focus on constructing triangles from three measures of angles or sides, noticing when the conditions determine a unique triangle, more than one triangle, or no triangle.

Describe the two-dimensional figures that result from slicing three-dimensional figures, as in plane sections of right rectangular prisms and right rectangular pyramids.
problem_activity: Problem 1
Your group should have a few copies of
Handout #2
and a set of cards from
Handout #1
.
Draw three cards and place them in the appropriate places on the Handout #2 form. This represents three conditions about a triangle. Once you’ve placed them on the form, do not change the order.
Determine if the set of conditions will make one unique triangle, more than one triangle, or no triangle.
If you can make one unique triangle, draw and label the triangle.
If more than one or no triangle can be made, be prepared to explain your reasoning.
Choose another three cards and repeat the activity.
Problem 2
Two triangles are described below. Determine if each description results in one unique triangle, more than one triangle, or no triangle. Explain your reasoning or draw images to support your conclusion.
a.   Triangle
$${EFG}$$
is an isosceles triangle with two angles measuring 35°. Side length
$${EG}$$
measures 10 cm.
b.   Triangle
$${{PQ}R}$$
is an isosceles triangle with
$${\angle P}$$
and
$${\angle Q}$$
measuring 22°. Side length
$${PQ}$$
measures 8 cm.
