1. For TRI, the following facts are given:
Score
Segment AN || Segment RI
AN = 6 cm
RI = 8 cm
TA = 3.3 cm
NI = 1.6 cm
Use any or all of these facts to answer the following:
a) In two-column format prove that TAN  TRI.
b) Assume TAN is the image of TRI under a dilation. Is the dilation an expansion or a contraction?
What is the scale factor?
c) Calculate AR. Show your work.
d) Use the Side-Splitting Theorem to find TN.
e) What is the ratio of the area of TRI to TAN?

2. The height of one solid limestone square pyramid is 24 m. A similar solid limestone square
pyramid has a height of 30 m. The volume of the larger pyramid is 16,000 m 3. Determine
each of the following, showing all your work and reasoning.
Score
a) The scale factor of the smaller pyramid to the larger pyramid in simplest form.
b) The ratio of the area of the base of the smaller pyramid to the larger pyramid.
c) Ratio of the volume of the smaller pyramid to the larger.
d) The volume of the smaller pyramid.
Answer:
a.) h1 : h2 = 24 : 30 = 24/30 = 4/5
b.) B2 = 3(16,000/30) = 1,600 m 2
B2 / 1600 = 24 / 30
30B2 / 30 = 38,400 / 30
B2 = 1280m2
Ratio = 1,280 : 1,600 = 1,280 / 1,600 = 4/5
c.) V1 = (16,000m3)(4/5) = 12,800m 3
Ratio = 12,800 / 16,000 = 4/5
d.) V1 = (16,000m3)(4/5) = 12,800m3

3. For TOE the following facts are given:
Score
mTOS = mSOE
TE = 6 cm
OT = 2 cm
OE = 5.8 cm
OG = 4.35 cm
AU = 0.45 cm
Use this information to answer the following:
a) Why is OBG  OTE?
Now find the following missing lengths. Show all work or reasoning. Round non-integral lengths to the nearest
hundredth.
b) GE
GE = (OE – OG)
GE = (5.8 – 4.35)
GE = 1.45
c) TS
d) OA
e) BT
(OT – OB) / GE = OB / OG
(2 – OB) / 1.45 = OB / 4.35
8.7 / 5.8 = 5.8OB / 5.8
OB = 1.5
OB / OG = BT / GE
1.5 / 4.35 = BT / 1.45
2.175 / 4.35 = 4.35BT / 4.35
BT = 0.5
