Mathematical Practices 1 Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them. 3 Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others.
- 3. Course 3, Inquiry Lab before Lesson 7-3 Geometry Activity 1 Continued Measure and record the lengths of the line segments in millimeters and angles in degrees in the table. What do you notice about the measure of the corresponding angles of the triangles? To determine if there is a relationship between the two triangles, use the diagram shown.
- 4. Course 3, Inquiry Lab before Lesson 7-3 Geometry Express the lengths of the corresponding sides of the triangles as ratios. What do you notice about the ratios of the corresponding sides of the triangles? To determine if there is a relationship between the two triangles, use the diagram shown. LP LQ PQ LM LN MN
