Sample Question
Reference: Level J Geometry 1 Chapter 2 Section 1
Question: In the figure below, planes H and G intersect at a line that contains the point N. M belongs
to plane H while I and L belong to plane G.
H
N
I
Which of the following is true?

1. M, N, and L are collinear.
2. M and L are collinear.
3. M, N, I, and L are coplanar.
4. M and L are coplanar.
5. M, I, and L are coplanar.
Solution:
Choice 1 is not correct since M, N, L cannot be collinear.
In fact, point L belongs to plane G and does not belong to the intersection of H and G so it is not a
point in plane H. Since MN belongs to the plane H all the points on MN must also belong to
plane H while point L does not belong to plane H.
Choice 2 is correct since two points define a line, and so any two points are collinear.
Choice 3 is not correct since M, N, I, and L cannot be coplanar. I belongs to plane G. LN is the
intersection of plane G with the plane defined by points M, N, and L. Since I does not belong to
that line of intersection LN , then I does not belong to the plane defined by points M, N, and L.
Choices 4 and 5 are correct since any two points are coplanar, and three points define a plane.

C

1. Another name for ray AG is ray AD .
2. Another name for ray CH is ray DH .
3. Ray DA is opposite ray DG .
4. AG DA DA
5. AG CH D
Solution: 1345
Choice 1 is correct. Both rays have the same end point and they extend in the same direction on
the same line. So the names describe the same ray.
Choice 2 is not correct because the two rays have different endpoints.
Choice 3 is correct because D is between A and G.
Choice 4 is correct because A, D, and the points between D and A are common points to both rays
AG and DA .
Choice 5 is correct because D is the only point common to both rays AG and CH .
Therefore, you must enter 1 followed by 3 followed by 4 followed by 5.

2. 3 and 4 are adjacent angles.
3. 2 and 3 form a linear pair.
4. 1 and 3 are vertically opposite.
5. 2 and 4 are vertically opposite.
Solution: 123
Choices 1 and 3 are correct since X, Y, and Z are collinear.
Choice 2 is correct since the angles have YX as a common side and they have disjoint interiors.
Choices 4 and 5 are not correct since V, Y, and W are not collinear.
Therefore, you must enter 1 followed by 2 followed by 3.

6x = 120
x = 20

113. An algebraic application on co-interior angles formed by parallel lines and a transversal
Sample Question
Question: In the figure below, m // n.
6k
4k
r
What is the value of k?
Solution: 4k + 6k = 180 (co-interior angles are supplementary).
k = 18.
114. Apply angle facts related to parallel lines and a transversal

Sample Question
Question: In the figure below, m // n and r is NOT perpendicular to n.
2 1

4
r
If m4 = 62 and m1 = k, then what must the value of k be?
Solution: m4 = m2 = 62 (corresponding angles are congruent).
m2 + m1 = 180 (angles in a linear pair are supplementary).
Therefore, k + 62 = 180
k = 118.

Answer: 108
116. APPLY THE ANGLE SUM THEOREM

Sample Question
7k
3k
10k

Solution: 10k + 3k + 7k = 180
20k = 180
k = 9.
117. APP ON MEAS OF AN EXTERIOR ANGLE OF A TRIANGLE

Sample Question
62
80
Solution: Using the exterior angle theorem we get k + 62 = 80 k = 18.
Sample Question
48
122

Solution:
Using the external angle theorem: 122 = 48 + k.
k = 74
Answer: 74
118. Apply the angle sum theorem in a right triangle

Sample Question
