    Three hexagons are graphed on a grid. Hexagon, A B C D E F is plotted. The bottom and top sides, A F and C D measure 3 units, each. The other sides, C B, B A, D E, and E F measure 2 units, each. The hexagon is translated 5 units to the right and 3 units up. The vertices of the translated hexagon are A prime, B prime, C prime, D prime, E prime, and F prime. The translated hexagon is again translated 7 units down. The vertices of the newly translated hexagon are A double prime, B double prime, C double prime, D double prime, E double prime, and F double prime.

    1. This tessellation could be produced with a reflection of the triangle vertically, then each triangle is rotated \({180^ \circ }\) and translated to the right.
    10.37
    1. From the first square on the left, rotate the square \({30^ \circ }\) to the right, or \(A1 \to A2\). Then, reflect the square over the horizontal, or \(A2 \to A3\). Next, reflect all three squares over the vertical line. The lavender triangles comprise another pattern that tessellates, fits in with the squares, and fills the gaps.

    1. Not by themselves, but by adding an equilateral triangle, the two regular polygons do tessellate the plane without gaps.
    10.40
    1. We made a tessellation with a regular decagon (10 sides) and an irregular hexagon. We see that the regular decagon will not fill the plane by itself. The gap is filled, however, with an irregular hexagon. These two shapes together will fill the plane.

    1. The line containing point \(D\) and point \(A\) is a line segment from point \(D\) to point \(A\), \(\overline{DA} \), or from point \(A\) to point \(D\), \(\overline {AD} \).
    2. The line containing points \(C\) and \(B\) is a straight line that extends infinitely in both directions and contains points \(C\) and \(B\).
    3. This is a ray that begins at point \(E\), although it does not contain point \(E\), and extends in the direction of point \(F\).
    4. \({\overline {AB}} \cup {\overline {BD}} = \overline {AD} \). The union of line segment \(\overline {AB} \) and the line segment \({\overline {BD}}\) contains all points in each line segment combined.
    5. \(\overrightarrow {BD} \cap {\overline {BC}} = {\overline {BC}} \). The intersection of the ray \(\overrightarrow {BD} \) and the line segment \({\overline {BC}} \) contains only the points common to each set, \({\overline {BC}} \).
    6. \(\overrightarrow {BA} \cup \overrightarrow {BD} = \overleftrightarrow {AD}\). The union of the ray starting at point \(B\) and extending infinitely in the direction of \(A\) and the ray starting at point \(B\) and extending infinitely in the direction of \(D\) is the straight line extending infinitely in both directions containing points \(A\), \(B\), \(C\), and \(D\).
    7. Two lines are parallel if the distance between the lines is constant implying that the lines cannot intersect.
    8. Perpendicular lines intersect forming a \({90^ \circ }\) angle between them.
    9. Yes, because it contains a line and a point not on the line.

    14. \(m\measuredangle 1 = {149^ \circ }\) by supplementary angles with \(\measuredangle {31^ \circ }.\)
    15. \(m\measuredangle 3 = {31^ \circ }\) by vertical angles with the angle measuring \({31^ \circ }.\)
    16. \(m\measuredangle 5 = {149^ \circ }\) by corresponding angles with \(\measuredangle 1.\)
    17. \(x = {89^ \circ }\)
    18. \(x = {67^ \circ }\)
    19. \(x = {77^ \circ }\) and \(y = {26^ \circ }\)
    20. These are similar triangles, so we can solve using proportions.

    31. Starting with the triangle with the point labeled \(A\), the triangle is translated point by point 3 units to the right and 3 units up to point \(A'\). Then, the triangle labeled \(A'\) is translated 3 units to the right and 3 units up to point \(A''\).
    32. The triangle is rotated about the rotation point \(180^\circ \) to vertex \(B'\).
    33. The dark triangle is reflected about the vertical line showing the light back, and then reflected about the horizontal line. The pattern is repeated leaving a white diamond between the shapes.
