Exploring Alternate Exterior Angles (V2)

In the applet below, a [b]TRANSVERSAL[/b] intersects [b]2 PARALLEL LINES[/b]. [br][br]When this happens, there are 2 pairs of [b][color=#b20ea8]ALTERNATE EXTERIOR ANGLES[/color][/b] that are formed. [br][br]Interact with the applet below for a few minutes, then answer the questions that immediately follow.
[color=#c51414][b]Directions & Questions:[/b] [/color][br][br]1) Complete the following statement: I[b]f a transversal intersects 2 ________________  ______________, then [color=#b20ea8]alternate exterior angles[/color] are _____________________.[/b] [br][br]2) If the pink angle above measures 146 degrees, what would the measure of its alternate exterior angle be?  What would the measure of the gray angle be?  [br][br]3) As you moved the slider, what transformation(s) took place? 

01 Learning Polar Graphing

A polar grid consists of a sequence of concentric circles that are divided radially by various radial lines at regular angular divisions usually in increments of 5°, 10°, or 15°. Periodically you may want [color=#1551b5][b]Press the Recycle Icon[/b][/color] on the upper right to clear the worksheet. GeoGebra contains three commands that will assist us in creating the polar grid. Circle[Point M, Number r], Line[Point, Direction vector v], and Sequence[Expression, Variable i, Number a, Number b, <Increment>] To draw a circle with a center at Point(4,5) and radius = 3, we would enter the following command in the input line: Circle[(4, 5), 3] {You should try this entry and others prior to proceeding.} To draw a line that starts at the point (4, 5) toward the end of the direction vector of 4x + 5y = 12 or (5, -4), we type the following Line[(4, 5),(5, -4)] in the input line. "A line with equation ax + by = c has the Direction vector (b, -a)." {You should try this entry and others prior to proceeding.} To draw a line through the origin at a 15° angle type: Line[(0, 0), (cos(15°), sin(15°))] The final important command is Sequence. This command allows incremental copies of an expression to be graphed. To create a simple family of parabolas type: Sequence[a x2, a, -2, 2]. The sequence automatically increments by ones, this can be change by typing: Sequence[a x2, a, -2, 2, 0.5] The following command will create 40 concentric circle centered at the origin by 1/2 unit increments: polarCircles = Sequence[Circle[(0, 0), k / 2], k, 1, 20] The following command will create a series of radial lines at increments from 0 through 175° in 15° increments: radialLines = Sequence[Line[(0, 0), (cos(a), sin(a))], a, 0, 175°, 15°] The Parametric Curve Command allows us to create or graph polar functions. Curve[Expression e1, Expression e2, Parameter t, Number a, Number b]: Yields the Cartesian parametric curve for the given x-expression e1 and y-expression e2 (using parameter t) within the given interval [a, b]. r(x) = 1 {hide this line, this function will allow you to enter polar equations} Curve[r(i) cos(i), r(i) sin(i), i, 0, 2 pi] {this will draw a circle of radius one}

This instructional construction is for students and teachers to learn how to use parametric curve command to graph polar graphs.
