Problem 1

Copy and complete the table. Refer to the diagrams on pages 1 and 2 .
$$\begin{array}{cc} \text { Distance between } & \text { Diagram distance } & \text { Ground distance } \\ {X \text { and } P} & {\underline{5} \text {cm}} & {\underline{10} \text {cm}} \\ {X \text { and } F} & {\underline{7} \text {cm}} & {\underline{?} \text {cm}} \\ {X \text { and } T} & {\underline{?} \text {cm}} & {\underline{?} \text {cm}} \\ {Y \text { and } F} & {\underline{?} \text {cm}} & {\underline{19} \text {cm}} \\ {F \text { and } T} & {\underline{12} \text {cm}} & {\underline{?} \text {cm}}\end{array}$$

Problem 2

For Exercises 2-4 use a centimeter ruler. If you don't have a centimeter ruler, you may use the centimeter ruler shown below as a guide. Either open your compass to the appropriate.
Copy the points $F . T,$ and $P$ from the diagram on page 2 . If you lay you paper over the page, you can see through the paper well enough to get the points.
a. Draw a line to indicate all points equidistant from $F$ and $T$ .
b. Draw a circle to indicate points 6 $\mathrm{cm}$ from $P$ . If you don't have a compass, draw as well as you can freehand.
c. How many points are equidistant from $F$ and $T$ , and are also 6 $\mathrm{cm}$ from $P ?$

Problem 4

For Exercises 2-4 use a centimeter ruler. If you don't have a centimeter ruler, you may use the centimeter ruler shown below as a guide. Either open your compass to the appropriate.
There is a distance you could use in parts (b) and (c) of Exercise 2 that would lead to the answer one point in part (c). Estimate that distance.
