This assignment focuses on key geometric concepts, including medians, bisectors, and altitudes, while providing step-by-step exercises to enhance understanding. Students will plot points to create segments, calculate midpoints, and analyze various triangles, including scalene and isosceles forms. They will construct polygons like parallelograms and rectangles and explore relationships between side lengths, angles, and diagonals. With clear expectations for proof and conclusions, this assignment also emphasizes effective communication and organization in presenting geometric concepts.
