    C. mode D. angle bisector
    Hint

  2.   has vertices X(-1, 1), Y(3, 9), and Z(6, -2). Determine the
coordinates of point W on so that is a median of
    A. B. (1, 5)
    C. (2, -1) D. (2, 4)
    Hint

  3.   Order the steps for writing an indirect proof.
   
    A. 2, 3, 1 B. 3, 2, 1
    C. 2, 1, 3 D. 1, 2, 3
    Hint

  4.   has vertices M(3, 5), N(1, -2), O(-3, 2). Order the angles from
the greatest measure to the least measure.
    A. B.
    C. D.
    Hint

  5.   Marty has a piece of rope with exactly 7 knots tied at equal intervals as shown. Using the rope, he wants to make triangles so that each vertex of the triangle occurs at a knot. How many different triangles can Marty make?
   
    A. 4 B. 3
    C. 2 D. 1
    Hint

  6.   Which inequality describes the range of possible values for x?
   
    A. 4 < x < 14 B. x < 14
    C. -6 < x < 14 D. x < 4 and x > 14
    Hint

  7.   Which line segment in the picture shown is the longest?
   
    A. B.
    C. D.
    Hint

  8.   Is it possible to draw a triangle with sides measuring 32, 96, and 118? Explain.
    A. No; 32 + 96 is less than 118.
    B. No; 32 is less than 96 + 118.
    C. Yes; 96 is between 32 and 118.
    D. Yes; the sum of the measures of any two sides is greater than the other side measure.
    Hint
