1. Points A and B form a line segment. Points X, Y, Z, and W are arranged so that X and Z are directly above and below the midpoint of AB. Which pair of points determines the perpendicular bisector of line segment AB?
Show answer
Answer: G — X and Z
2. Which of the following groups of statements represents a valid argument?
Show answer
Answer: H — Given: All parallelograms have four sides. Conclusion: All parallelograms are quadrilaterals.
3. Which is the contrapositive of the statement, “If I am in Richmond, then I am in Virginia”?
Show answer
Answer: C — If I am not in Virginia, then I am not in Richmond.
4. A surveyor measured along a river and formed a triangle with sides 40 ft, 80 ft, and 120 ft. What is the distance across the river from point A to point T?
Show answer
Answer: F — 60 ft
