    A. integral B. perpendicular
    C. parallel D. consecutive
    Hint

  2.   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. 1 B. 2
    C. 3 D. 4
    Hint

  3.   If 15 and 20 are the lengths of two sides of a triangle, between what two numbers must the measure of the third side fall?
    A. 15 and 20 B. 5 and 35
    C. 10 and 25 D. 10 and 35
    Hint

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

  5.   Ed has a piece of rope with exactly 10 knots tied to make 9 equal lengths as shown. Using the rope, he wants to use the entire rope to make a triangle so that each vertex of the triangle occurs at a knot. How many different triangles can Ed make?
   
    A. 2 B. 4
    C. 3 D. 5
    Hint
