BASIC GEOMETRIC FIGURES The points on the map below represent the positions of different objects at Higgins Park.

P • Picnic Table

R • Restrooms S • Shelter

V B • • Volleyball Baseball Court Field 1. Draw the geometric figure that represents to the path John travels as he walks from the picnic table to the volleyball court. Name the figure. 2. Draw the geometric figure that represents the path Darla travels as she walks from the shelter to the restrooms and continues past in the same direction. Name the figure. 3. Draw the line that includes the position of the picnic table and the baseball field. Name it in two different ways. 4. Draw the line that includes the position of the restrooms and the volleyball court. Name it in two different ways. 5. Do the figures you drew in Exercises 3 and 4 intersect? 6. What point lies on both PV and PR? 7. Will PV and RS intersect? 8. Sandy and Larry are standing at the picnic table. Sandy walks to the baseball field and Larry walks to the volleyball court. Name the angle formed by the two different paths in two different ways.

9. What is the vertex of the angle formed in Exercise 8?
