Making Conjectures (1)
Conjectures
[br]The drawing has specific information marked. You are given the ability to do a drag test by selecting points that are marked and moving them about.[br][br]Use the information shown and what you can gather from doing the drag test to make as many conjectures as you can. Can you come up with a way to test those conjectures?
Parallel & Perpendicular Consequence
[color=#000000]The following applet demonstrates a property that parallel lines have when they're drawn in the coordinate plane. [br] [i] [br]Be sure to move the [color=#1e84cc][b]blue points[/b][/color] around quite a bit![/i] [/color]
[color=#000000]This applet demonstrates a property that perpendicular lines have when they're drawn in the coordinate plane. [br][br][i]Be sure to move the points around quite a bit and observe carefully as you do! [/i][/color]
[color=#000000]What can you conclude about parallel lines drawn in the coordinate plane? [/color]
[color=#000000]What can you conclude about perpendicular lines that are drawn in the coordinate plane? [br](Assume the lines are not aligned horizontally and vertically). [/color]

Do the drag test on each of the vertices. [br]Use your knowledge of polygons to try to figure out what kind of polygon this is.[br][br]Tell all you can about the figure. You may want to consider looking at sides angles and diagonals.[br][br]Is one pair of opposite sides parallel? Are both?[br]Are any sides congruent? Are the congruent sides opposite each other? Are they adjacent?[br][br]Are angles congruent? Is one pair of opposite angles congruent? Are both pair of opposite angles congruent? [br][br]Do diagonals bisect each other? Are diagonals congruent? Are diagonals perpendicular?
