8. ST and UV each equal 9 units, TU and SV each equal 3 units.
1. Since ∠G and ∠K are right angles, GHJ and KLM are_ right triangles; legs GH and _ KL are congruent; and acute angles ∠H and ∠L are congruent; so by Leg-Angle Congruence Theorem, GHJ KLM.

17. 3796 ft2; See student work; Sample: The buildings will be arranged to form a park that is in the shape of a right triangle. Based on proof model of the Pythagorean Theorem, the sum of the squares sharing the sides with the legs of a right triangle are equal to the sum of the square sharing the hypotenuse side, which is the third building. 18. approximately 35.71 19. The central angles will always sum to 360°, so as the number of sides increases, the number of central angles will increase so that there are fewer degrees for each angle. 20.

25. It is given that AB DE . The Exterior Angle Theorem says that the measure of an exterior angle is equal to the sum of the two remote interior angles, so in ABC, _ we_ know that m∠CAB + m∠ACB = m∠ABE. Since AB DE , the corresponding angles formed by a transversal are congruent. ∠ABE and ∠DEF are corresponding angles, so m∠ABE = m∠DEF. Since they are equal to one another, ∠DEF can be substituted for ∠ABE. Doing this with the earlier equation yields m∠CAB + m∠ACB = m∠DEF. 26. 34.0 m 27. a. obtuse b. obtuse c. right _
