Introduction to Answer Key

Geometry

1) Answer: D
Explanation: The statements in option A to C are included in Euclid’s five postulates.
Meanwhile, the statement in letter D is not. Basically, it is just a logical conclusion based on the
definition that a bisector divides a line segment into two congruent segments.

2) Answer: D

Explanation: Illustrating the given problem:

By the segment addition postulate, we can conclude that length of the entire segment WY is
equal to the sum of the lengths of WX and XY.

Mathematically:

WX + XY = WY

Substituting the lengths of the respective segments:

(3x + 5) + (2) = 10
3x + 7 = 10

We can now solve for the value of x using the derived equation above:

3x + 7 = 10

3x = -7 + 10 Transposition method

3x = 3

3𝑥 3
3
= 3
Dividing both sides of the equation by 3

x=1

Thus, the value of x is 1.

3) Answer: B
Explanation: Among the given statements, only statement III “The line containing point A is
parallel with the line containing point X” is true. As you can see in the given illustration (shown
below), the line where A is located is parallel to the line where X is located. Recall that parallel
lines means non-intersecting lines.

4) Answer: B
Explanation: Among the given statements, only statements I and III are true.

We will explain this answer by falsifying statements II and IV.

Statement II is false since not all plane figures are polygon. A circle is a plane figure but it is not
a polygon.

Meanwhile, statement IV is false because the intersection of a line and a line segment is not
necessarily the midpoint of the line segment. The statement could be true if the line is a line
bisector but the statement didn’t specify whether the line is a bisector or not, so the statement is
false.

5) Answer: C
Explanation: The number of diagonals that a polygon has can be determined using the formula
below:

𝑛(𝑛 − 3)
Number of diagonals = 2

where n is the number of sides of the polygon.

A dodecagon is a polygon with 12 sides. So, we will use n = 12 in the formula.

Substituting n = 12 in the formula above:

𝑛(𝑛 − 3)
Number of diagonals = 2

(12)(12 − 3)
Number of diagonals = 2

(12)(9)
Number of diagonals = 2

108
Number of diagonals = 2

Number of diagonals = 54

Thus, a dodecagon has 54 diagonals.
