Eureka Math Grade 8 Module 7 Lesson 7 Example Answer Key

Example 1.
The number 0.253 is represented on the number line below.
Engage NY Math 8th Grade Module 7 Lesson 7 Example Answer Key 1
Answer:
How can we locate the number 0.253 = \(\frac{2}{10}\) + \(\frac{5}{100}\) + \(\frac{3}{1000}\) on the number line?
We can see that 0.253 is a tad larger than 0.2 and is smaller than 0.3. So if we divide the line segment from 0 to 1 into tenths, 0.253 lies somewhere in the segment between 0.2 and 0.3.
Engage NY Math 8th Grade Module 7 Lesson 7 Example Answer Key 2
Now divide this segment into ten equal parts. (Those parts are hundredths of the original unit length.) We know that 0.253 is larger than 0.25 but smaller than 0.26, and so lies in the segment between these two values.

Now divide this small segment into tenths again. (We are now dealing with thousandths of the original unit length.) We can now see where exactly to pin 0.253 on the number line.

Writing 0.253 in its expanded decimal form of \(\frac{2}{10}\) + \(\frac{5}{100}\) + \(\frac{3}{1000}\) illustrates this process:
The first decimal digit of 0.253 is 0.2, or \(\frac{2}{10}\), and this tells us within which tenth we are to place 0.253.
The first two decimal digits of 0.253 are 0.25 which is equal to \(\frac{2}{10}\) + \(\frac{5}{10^{2}}\) , or \(\frac{25}{10^{2}}\), and this tells us within which hundredth we are to place 0.253.

The first three decimal digits of 0.253 are 0.253 which is equal to \(\frac{2}{10}\) + \(\frac{5}{10^{2}}\) + \(\frac{3}{10^{3}}\), or \(\frac{253}{10^{3}}\), and this tells us within which thousandth we are to place 0.253. And since the decimal terminates here, we are done.
Have the students explain this process again in their own words, referring to the number line diagram as they do so.

How do you think this process would change if we tried to locate an infinite decimal on the number line?
The sequence for an infinite decimal would never end; it would go on infinitely.
We need to introduce some notation. If a decimal has a repeating pattern, as for 0.3333… or 7.45454545…, for instance, then a horizontal bar is used to indicate that a block of digits is being repeated. For example, 0.3333… is written as \(0 . \overline{3}\) and 7.45454545… as \(7 . \overline{45}\). It is conceivable that an infinite decimal could have no repeating pattern.

Example 2.
The number \(\frac{5}{6}\), which is equal to 0.833333…, or \(0 . \overline{83}\) is partially represented on the number line below.
Engage NY Math 8th Grade Module 7 Lesson 7 Example Answer Key 3
Answer:
Now, consider the equality \(\frac{5}{6}\) = 0.833333″…” = \(0 . \overline{83}\). Notice that at the second step, the work feels as though it repeats, which coincides with the fact that the decimal digit of 3 repeats.
Engage NY Math 8th Grade Module 7 Lesson 7 Example Answer Key 4
What is the expanded form of the decimal 0.833333…?
0.833333″…” = \(\frac{8}{10} + \frac{3}{10^{2}} + \frac{3}{10^{3}} + \frac{3}{10^{4}} + \frac{3}{10^{5}} + \frac{3}{10^{6}} + \cdots\) + …………
We see again that at the second step the work begins to repeat.
Each step can be represented by increasing powers of 10 in the denominator: \(\frac{8}{10}, \frac{83}{10^{2}}, \frac{833}{10^{3}}, \frac{8333}{10^{4}}, \frac{83333}{10^{5}}, \frac{833333}{10^{6}}\), and so on. When will it end? Explain.
It will never end because the decimal is infinite.

As we step through this process we are pinning the exact location of 0.8333… into smaller and smaller intervals, intervals with sizes shrinking to zero: an interval of a tenth, and then a hundredth, then a thousandth, and, if we kept going, an interval of size \(\frac{1}{10^{20}}\), and later on to an interval of size \(\frac{1}{10^{100}}\), and so on, supposedly forever!
Okay. Let’s now think deeply about 0.9999…. Where do we find this number on the number line?

Draw on the board a sequence of number-line segments akin to those in Example 2, and have students give instructions on how to pin down the location of 0.9999…. In which tenth does it lie? In which hundredth? In which thousandth? And so on. Ask: At any stage of this process is 0.9999… right at the number 1 on the number line?
No. We are always just to the left of 1.
Right. And that makes sense as 0.9 is smaller than 1, and 0.99 is smaller than 1, as are 0.999 and 0.9999. At every stage of the process we are just shy of the number 1.

Answer:
2.1, 2.121212, \(2 . \overline{12}\), and 2.2

b. Explain how you knew which order to put the numbers in.
Answer:
Each number is the sum of the whole number 2 and a decimal. When you write each number in this manner, you get the following expansions.
2.121212 = 2 + \(\frac{1}{10} + \frac{2}{10^{2}} + \frac{1}{10^{3}} + \frac{2}{10^{4}} + \frac{1}{10^{5}} + \frac{2}{10^{6}}\)
2.1 = 2 + \(\frac{1}{10}\)
2.2 = 2 + \(\frac{2}{10}\)
\(2 . \overline{12}\) = 2 + \(\frac{1}{10} + \frac{2}{10^{2}} + \frac{1}{10^{3}} + \frac{2}{10^{4}} + \frac{1}{10^{5}} + \frac{2}{10^{6}} + \frac{1}{10^{7}} + \frac{2}{10^{8}} + \cdots\)
In this form, it is clear that 2.1 is the least of the four numbers, followed by the finite decimal 2.121212, then the infinite decimal \(2 . \overline{12}\), and finally 2.2.

Question 3.
Which is a more accurate representation of the fraction \(\frac{2}{3}\): 0.6666 or \(0 . \overline{6}\)? Explain. Which would you prefer to compute with?
Answer:
The number \(\frac{2}{3}\) is more accurately represented by the decimal 0.6 ̅ compared to 0.6666. The long division algorithm with \(\frac{2}{3}\) shows that the digit 6 repeats. Then, the expanded form of the decimal \(0 . \overline{6}\) is \(\frac{6}{10} + \frac{6}{10^{2}} + \frac{6}{10^{3}} + \frac{6}{10^{4}} + \frac{6}{10^{5}} + \frac{6}{10^{6}} + \cdots\), and the expanded form of the decimal 0.6666 is \(\frac{6}{10} + \frac{6}{10^{2}} + \frac{6}{10^{3}} + \frac{6}{10^{4}}\). For this reason, \(0 . \overline{6}\) is precise, but 0.6666 is an approximation. For computations, I would prefer to use 0.6666. My answer would be less precise, but at least I would be able to compute with it. When attempting to compute with an infinite number, you would never finish writing it; thus, you could never compute with it.

Question 4.
Explain why we shorten infinite decimals to finite decimals to perform operations. Explain the effect of shortening an infinite decimal on our answers.
Answer:
We often shorten infinite decimals to finite decimals to perform operations because it would be impossible to represent an infinite decimal precisely since the sequence that describes infinite decimals has an infinite number of steps. Our answers are less precise; however, they are not that much less precise because with each additional digit we include in the sequence, we are adding a very small amount to the value of the number. The more decimals we include, the closer the value we add approaches zero. Therefore, it does not make that much of a difference with respect to our answer.

Question 5.
A classmate missed the discussion about why \(0 . \overline{9}\) = 1. Convince your classmate that this equality is true.
Answer:
Answers will vary. Accept any reasonable explanation. One is provided below.
Ask: Could there be any space between the locations of 0.9999… and 1 on the number line? We have that 0.9999… is larger than 0.9 and so is within one-tenth of 1 on the number line. We also have that 0.9999… is larger than 0.99 and so is within one-hundredth of 1 on the number line. And 0.9999… is larger than 0.999 and so is within one-thousandth of 1 on the number line, and so on. There can be no space between 0.9999… and 1 on the number line, as we can always argue that 0.9999… must be within any given distance from 1. Thus, 0.9999… and 1 must sit at the same location on the number line and so are the same number.

Question 6.
Explain why 0.3333 < 0.33333.
Answer:
0.3333 = \(\frac{3}{10} + \frac{3}{10^{2}} + \frac{3}{10^{3}} + \frac{3}{10^{4}}\), and 0.33333 = \(\frac{3}{10} + \frac{3}{10^{2}} + \frac{3}{10^{3}} + \frac{3}{10^{4}} + \frac{3}{10^{5}}\). That means that 0.33333 is exactly \(\frac{3}{10^{5}}\) larger than 0.3333. If we examined the numbers on the number line, 0.33333 is to the right of 0.3333, meaning that it is larger than 0.3333.

Eureka Math Grade 8 Module 7 Lesson 5 Example Answer Key

Example 1.
x3 + 9x = \(\frac{1}{2}\) (18x + 54)
Answer:
Now that we know about square roots and cube roots, we can combine that knowledge with our knowledge of the properties of equality to begin solving nonlinear equations like x3 + 9x = \(\frac{1}{2}\) (18x + 54). Transform the equation until you can determine the positive value of x that makes the equation true.
Challenge students to solve the equation independently or in pairs. Have students share their strategy for solving the equation. Ask them to explain each step.
x3 + 9x = \(\frac{1}{2}\) (18x + 54)
x3 + 9x = 9x + 27
x3 + 9x – 9x = 9x – 9x + 27
x3 = 27
\(\sqrt[3]{x^{3}}\) = \(\sqrt [ 3 ]{ 27 }\)
x = \(\sqrt[3]{3^{3}}\)
x = 3
Now, we verify our solution is correct.
33 + 9(3) = \(\frac{1}{2}\) (18(3) + 54)
27 + 27 = \(\frac{1}{2}\) (54 + 54)
54 = \(\frac{1}{2}\) (108)
54 = 54
Since the left side is the same as the right side, our solution is correct.

Example 2.
x(x – 3) – 51 = – 3x + 13
Answer:
Let’s look at another nonlinear equation. Find the positive value of x that makes the equation true: x(x – 3) – 51 = – 3x + 13.
Provide students with time to solve the equation independently or in pairs. Have students share their strategy for solving the equation. Ask them to explain each step.
Sample response:
x(x – 3) – 51 = – 3x + 13
x2 – 3x – 51 = – 3x + 13
x2 – 3x + 3x – 51 = – 3x + 3x + 13
x2 – 51 = 13
x2 – 51 + 51 = 13 + 51
x2 = 64
\(\sqrt{x^{2}}\) = ±\(\sqrt{64}\)
x = ±\(\sqrt{64}\)
x = ±8
Now we verify our solution is correct.
Provide students time to check their work.
Let x = 8.
8(8 – 3) – 51 = – 3(8) + 13
8(5) – 51 = – 24 + 13
40 – 51 = – 11
– 11 = – 11

Let x = – 8.
– 8( – 8 – 3) – 51 = – 3( – 8) + 13
– 8( – 11) – 51 = 24 + 13
88 – 51 = 37
37 = 37
Now it is clear that the left side is exactly the same as the right side, and our solution is correct.

216 + x = x3 + x
216 + x – x = x3 + x – x
216 = x3
\(\sqrt [ 3 ]{ 216 }\) = \(\sqrt[3]{x^{3}}\)
6 = x

Check:
216 + 6 = 6(62 – 5) + 6(6)

\(\sqrt{x^{2}}\) = \(\sqrt{49}\)
x = 7

Check:
72 – 49 = 0
49 – 49 = 0
0 = 0
To solve the equation, I first had to simplify the expression \(\frac{x^{9}}{x^{7}}\) to x2. Next, I used the properties of equality to transform the equation into x2 = 49. Finally, I had to take the square root of both sides of the equation to solve for x.

81x – 43x = 76
38x = 76
\(\frac{38x}{38}\) = \(\frac{76}{38}\)
x = 2

Check:
(9(\(\sqrt{2}\)))2 – 43(2) = 76
92 (\(\sqrt{2}\))2 – 86 = 76
81(2) – 86 = 76
162 – 86 = 76
76 = 76

Eureka Math 8th Grade Module 7 Lesson 5 Problem Set Answer Key 1
Answer:
32 + 72 = x2
9 + 49 = x2
58 = x2
\(\sqrt{58}\) = \(\sqrt{x^{2}}\)
\(\sqrt{58}\) = x

Check:
32 + 72 = (\(\sqrt{52}\))2
9 + 49 = 58
58 = 58
Since x = \(\sqrt{58}\), the length of the hypotenuse is \(\sqrt{58}\) mm.

Question 7.
Determine the length of the legs in the right triangle below.
Eureka Math 8th Grade Module 7 Lesson 5 Problem Set Answer Key 2
Answer:
x2 + x2 = (14\(\sqrt{2}\))2
2x2 = 142 (\(\sqrt{2}\))2
2x2 = 196(2)
\(\frac{2 x^{2}}{2}\) = \(\frac{196(2)}{2}\)
x2 = 196
\(\sqrt{x^{2}}\) = \(\sqrt{196}\)
x = \(\sqrt{14^{2}}\)
x = 14

Check:
142 + 142 = (14\(\sqrt{2}\))2
196 + 196 = 142 (\(\sqrt{2}\))2
392 = 196(2)
392 = 392
Since x = 14, the length of each of the legs of the right triangle is 14 cm.

Question 8.
An equilateral triangle has side lengths of 6 cm. What is the height of the triangle? What is the area of the triangle?
Eureka Math 8th Grade Module 7 Lesson 5 Problem Set Answer Key 3
Answer:
Note: This problem has two solutions, one with a simplified root and one without. Choose the appropriate solution for your classes based on how much simplifying you have taught them.
Let h cm represent the height of the triangle.
32 + h2 = 62
9 + h2 = 36
9 – 9 + h2 = 36 – 9
h2 = 27
\(\sqrt{h^{2}}\) = \(\sqrt{27}\)
h = \(\sqrt{27}\)
h = \(\sqrt{3^{3}}\)
h = \(\sqrt{3^{2}}\)×\(\sqrt{3}\)
h = 3\(\sqrt{3}\)

Let A represent the area of the triangle.
A = \(\frac{6(3 \sqrt{3})}{2}\))
A = 3(3\(\sqrt{3}\))
A = 9\(\sqrt{3}\)
Simplified: The height of the triangle is 3\(\sqrt{3}\) cm, and the area is 9\(\sqrt{3}\) cm2.
Unsimplified: The height of the triangle is \(\sqrt{27}\) cm, and the area is 3\(\sqrt{27}\) cm2

Question 9.
Challenge: Find the positive value of x that makes the equation true.
(\(\frac{1}{2}\) x)2 – 3x = 7x + 8 – 10x
Answer:
(\(\frac{1}{2}\) x)2 – 3x = 7x + 8 – 10x
\(\frac{1}{4}\) x2 – 3x = – 3x + 8
\(\frac{1}{4}\) x2 – 3x + 3x = – 3x + 3x + 8
\(\frac{1}{4}\) x2 = 8
4(\(\frac{1}{4}\)) x2 = 8(4)
x2 = 32
\(\sqrt{x^{2}}\) = \(\sqrt{32}\)
x = \(\sqrt{2^{5}}\)
x = \(\sqrt{2^{2}}\) ⋅ \(\sqrt{2^{2}}\) ⋅ \(\sqrt{2}\)
x = 4\(\sqrt{2}\)

Check:
(\(\frac{1}{2}\) (4\(\sqrt{2}\)))2 – 3(4\(\sqrt{2}\)) = 7(4\(\sqrt{2}\)) + 8 – 10(4\(\sqrt{2}\))
\(\frac{1}{4}\) (16)(2) – 3(4\(\sqrt{2}\)) = 7(4\(\sqrt{2}\)) – 10(4\(\sqrt{2}\)) + 8
\(\frac{32}{4}\) – 3(4\(\sqrt{2}\)) = 7(4\(\sqrt{2}\)) – 10(4\(\sqrt{2}\)) + 8
8 – 3(4\(\sqrt{2}\)) = (7 – 10)(4\(\sqrt{2}\)) + 8
8 – 3(4\(\sqrt{2}\)) = – 3(4\(\sqrt{2}\)) + 8
8 – 8 – 3(4\(\sqrt{2}\)) = – 3(4\(\sqrt{2}\)) + 8 – 8
– 3(4\(\sqrt{2}\)) = – 3(4\(\sqrt{2}\))

Question 10.
Challenge: Find the positive value of x that makes the equation true.
11x + x(x – 4) = 7(x + 9)
Answer:
11x + x(x – 4) = 7(x + 9)
11x + x2 – 4x = 7x + 63
7x + x2 = 7x + 63
7x – 7x + x2 = 7x – 7x + 63
x2 = 63
\(\sqrt{x^{2}}\)) = \(\sqrt{63}\)
x = \(\sqrt{\left(3^{2}\right)(7)}\)
x = \(\sqrt{3^{2}}\) ⋅ \(\sqrt{7}\)
x = 3\(\sqrt{7}\)

Check:
11(3\(\sqrt{7}\)) + 3\(\sqrt{7}\) (3\(\sqrt{7}\) – 4) = 7(3\(\sqrt{7}\) + 9)
33\(\sqrt{7}\) + 32 (\(\sqrt{7}\))2 – 4(3\(\sqrt{7}\)) = 21\(\sqrt{7}\) + 63
33\(\sqrt{7}\) – 4(3\(\sqrt{7}\)) + 9(7) = 21\(\sqrt{7}\) + 63
33\(\sqrt{7}\) – 12\(\sqrt{7}\) + 63 = 21\(\sqrt{7}\) + 63
(33 – 12) \(\sqrt{7}\) + 63 = 21\(\sqrt{7}\) + 63
21\(\sqrt{7}\) + 63 = 21\(\sqrt{7}\) + 63
21\(\sqrt{7}\) + 63 – 63 = 21\(\sqrt{7}\) + 63 – 63
21\(\sqrt{7}\) = 21\(\sqrt{7}\)

Eureka Math Grade 8 Module 7 Lesson 4 Example Answer Key

Example 1.
Simplify the square root as much as possible.
\(\sqrt{50}\) =
Answer:
→ Is the number 50 a perfect square? Explain.
The number 50 is not a perfect square because there is no integer squared that equals 50.

→ Since 50 is not a perfect square, when we need to simplify \(\sqrt{50}\), we write the factors of the number 50 looking specifically for those that are perfect squares. What are the factors of 50?
50 = 2 × 52
Since 50 = 2 × 52, then \(\sqrt{50}\) = \(\sqrt{2 \times 5^{2}}\). We can rewrite \(\sqrt{50}\) as a product of its factors:
\(\sqrt{50}\) = \(\sqrt{2}\) × \(\sqrt{5^{2}}\).

→ Obviously, 52 is a perfect square. Therefore, \(\sqrt{5^{2}}\) = 5, so \(\sqrt{50}\) = 5 × \(\sqrt{2}\) = 5\(\sqrt{2}\). Since \(\sqrt{2}\) is not a perfect square, we leave it as it is. We have simplified this expression as much as possible because there are no other perfect square factors remaining in the square root.

→ The number \(\sqrt{50}\) is said to be in its simplified form when all perfect square factors have been simplified. Therefore, 5\(\sqrt{2}\) is the simplified form of \(\sqrt{50}\).
Now that we know \(\sqrt{50}\) can be expressed as a product of its factors, we also know that we can multiply expressions containing square roots. For example, if we are given \(\sqrt{2}\) × \(\sqrt{5^{2}}\), we can rewrite the expression as √(2 × 52 ) = \(\sqrt{50}\).

Example 2.
Simplify the square root as much as possible.
\(\sqrt{28}\) =
Answer:
→ Is the number 28 a perfect square? Explain.
The number 28 is not a perfect square because there is no integer squared that equals 28.

→ What are the factors of 28?
28 = 22 × 7
Since 28 = 22 × 7, then \(\sqrt{28}\) = \(\sqrt{2^{2} \times 7}\). We can rewrite \(\sqrt{28}\) as a product of its factors:
\(\sqrt{28}\) = \(\sqrt{2^{2}}\) × \(\sqrt{7}\).

→ Obviously, 22 is a perfect square. Therefore, \(\sqrt{2^{2}}\) = 2, and \(\sqrt{28}\) = 2 × \(\sqrt{7}\) = 2\(\sqrt{7}\). Since \(\sqrt{7}\) is not a perfect square, we leave it as it is.

→ The number \(\sqrt{28}\) is said to be in its simplified form when all perfect square factors have been simplified. Therefore, 2\(\sqrt{7}\) is the simplified form of \(\sqrt{28}\).

Example 3.

\(\sqrt{128}\) =
Answer:
→ In this example, students may or may not recognize 128 as 64 × 2. The work below assumes that they do not. Consider showing students the solution below, as well as this alternative solution:
\(\sqrt{128}\) = \(\sqrt{64 \times 2}\) = \(\sqrt{64}\) × \(\sqrt{2}\) = 8 × \(\sqrt{2}\) = 8\(\sqrt{2}\).

→ Is the number 128 a perfect square? Explain.
The number 128 is not a perfect square because there is no integer squared that equals 128.

→ What are the factors of 128?
128 = 27
→ Since 128 = 27, then \(\sqrt{128}\) = √(27 ). We know that we can simplify perfect squares, so we can rewrite 27 as 22 × 22 × 22 × 2 because of what we know about the laws of exponents. Then,
\(\sqrt{128}\) = \(\sqrt{2^{2}}\) × \(\sqrt{2^{2}}\) × \(\sqrt{2^{2}}\) × \(\sqrt{2}\).
Each 22 is a perfect square. Therefore, \(\sqrt{128}\) = 2 × 2 × 2 × \(\sqrt{2}\) = 8\(\sqrt{2}\).

Example 4.
Simplify the square root as much as possible.
\(\sqrt{288}\) =
Answer:
In this example, students may or may not recognize 288 as 144 × 2. The work below assumes that they do not. Consider showing students the solution below, as well as this alternative solution:
\(\sqrt{288}\) = \(\sqrt{144 \times 2}\) = \(\sqrt{144}\) × \(\sqrt{2}\) = 12 × \(\sqrt{2}\) = 12\(\sqrt{2}\).

→ Is the number 288 a perfect square? Explain.
The number 288 is not a perfect square because there is no integer squared that equals 288.
→ What are the factors of 288?
288 = 25 × 32
Since 288 = 25 × 32, then \(\sqrt{288}\) = √(25 × 32 ). What do we do next?
Use the laws of exponents to rewrite 25 as 22 × 22 × 2.

→ Then, \(\sqrt{288}\) is equivalent to
\(\sqrt{288}\) = \(\sqrt{2^{2}}\) × \(\sqrt{2^{2}}\) × \(\sqrt{2}\) × \(\sqrt{3^{2}}\).

→ What does this simplify to?
\(\sqrt{288}\) = \(\sqrt{2^{2}}\) × \(\sqrt{2^{2}}\) × \(\sqrt{2}\) × \(\sqrt{3^{2}}\)) = \(\sqrt{2^{2}}\) × \(\sqrt{2^{2}}\) × \(\sqrt{3^{2}}\) ) × \(\sqrt{2}\) = 2 × 2 × 3 × \(\sqrt{2}\) = 12\(\sqrt{2}\)

= \(\sqrt{2}\) × \(\sqrt{3^{2}}\) × \(\sqrt{5^{2}}\)
= 3 × 5 × \(\sqrt{1}\)
= 15\(\sqrt{1}\)
Yes, Josue is correct because the number 450 = 2 × 32 × 52. The factors that are perfect squares simplify to 15 leaving just the factor of 2 that cannot be simplified. Therefore, \(\sqrt{450}\) = 15\(\sqrt{2}\).

Question 11.
Tiah was absent from school the day that you learned how to simplify a square root. Using \(\sqrt{360}\), write Tiah an explanation for simplifying square roots.
Answer:
To simplify \(\sqrt{360}\), first write the factors of 360. The number 360 = 23 × 32 × 5. Now, we can use the factors to write \(\sqrt{360}\) = \(\sqrt{2^{3} \times 3^{2} \times 5}\)), which can then be expressed as \(\sqrt{360}\) = \(\sqrt{2^{3}}\) × \(\sqrt{3^{2}}\) × \(\sqrt{5}\). Because we want to simplify square roots, we can rewrite the factor \(\sqrt{2^{3}}\) as \(\sqrt{2^{2}}\) × \(\sqrt{2}\) because of the laws of exponents. Now, we have
\(\sqrt{360}\) = \(\sqrt{2^{2}}\) × √2 × \(\sqrt{3^{2}}\) × \(\sqrt{5}\).
Each perfect square can be simplified as follows:
\(\sqrt{360}\) = 2 × \(\sqrt{2}\) × 3 × \(\sqrt{5}\)
= 2 × 3 × \(\sqrt{2}\) × \(\sqrt{5}\)
= 6\(\sqrt{10}\).
The simplified version of \(\sqrt{360}\) = 6\(\sqrt{10}\).

Exercise 4.
Show that the measure of an exterior angle is equal to the sum of the measures of the related remote interior angles.
Answer:
Triangle XYZ has interior angles ∠XYZ, ∠YZX, and ∠ZXY. The sum of those angles is 180°. The straight angle ∠XYP also has a measure of 180° and is made up of angles ∠XYZ and ∠ZYP. Since the triangle and the straight angle have the same number of degrees, we can write the sum of their respective angles as an equality:
∠XYZ+∠YZX+∠ZXY=∠XYZ+ZYP.
Both the triangle and the straight angle share ∠XYZ. We can subtract the measure of that angle from the triangle and the straight angle. Then, we have
∠YZX+∠ZXY=∠ZYP,
where the angle ∠ZYP is the exterior angle, and the angles ∠YZX and ∠ZXY are the related remote interior angles of the triangle. Therefore, the sum of the measures of the remote interior angles of a triangle are equal to the measure of the exterior angle.

Answer:
Since y+z=x, the measure of angle x is (y+z)°. We know that triangles have a sum of interior angles that is equal to 180°. We also know that straight angles are 180°.
Then, ∠y+∠z+∠BAC=180°, and ∠x+∠BAC=180°. Since both equations are equal to 180°,
then ∠y+∠z+∠BAC=∠x+∠BAC. Subtract ∠BAC from each side of the equation, and you get ∠y+∠z=∠x.

m∠1+m∠2+m∠3=m∠4+m∠5+m∠6=m∠7+m∠8+m∠9=180°
Note that the sum of the measures of angles 7 and 9 must equal 90° because of the known right angle in the right triangle.

We want to prove that the angle sum of any triangle is 180°. To do so, we use some facts that we already know about geometry:
→ A straight angle is 180° in measure.
→ Corresponding angles of parallel lines are equal in measure (corr. ∠’s, \(\overline{A B}\) || \(\overline{C D}\).
→ Alternate interior angles of parallel lines are equal in measure (alt. ∠’s, \(\overline{A B}\) || \(\overline{C D}\).

Exploratory Challenge 1.
Let triangle ABC be given. On the ray from B to C, take a point D so that C is between B and D. Through point C, draw a segment parallel to \(\overline{A B}\), as shown. Extend the segments AB and CE. Line AC is the transversal that intersects the parallel lines.
Eureka Math Grade 8 Module 2 Lesson 13 Exploratory Challenge Answer Key 1

a. Name the three interior angles of triangle ABC.
Answer:
∠ABC, ∠BAC, ∠BCA

b. Name the straight angle.
Answer:
∠BCD
Our goal is to show that the measures of the three interior angles of triangle ABC are equal to the measures of the angles that make up the straight angle. We already know that a straight angle is 180° in measure.
If we can show that the interior angles of the triangle are the same as the angles of the straight angle, then we will have proven that the sum of the measures of the interior angles of the triangle have a sum of 180°.

c. What kinds of angles are ∠ABC and ∠ECD? What does that mean about their measures?
Answer:
∠ABC and ∠ECD are corresponding angles. Corresponding angles of parallel lines are equal in measure (corr. ∠’s, \(\overline{A B}\) || \(\overline{\boldsymbol{C E}}\)).

d. What kinds of angles are ∠BAC and ∠ECA? What does that mean about their measures?
Answer:
∠BAC and ∠ECA are alternate interior angles. Alternate interior angles of parallel lines are equal in measure (alt. ∠’s, \(\overline{\boldsymbol{A B}}\) || \(\overline{\boldsymbol{C E}}\)).

d. We know that m∠BCD=m∠BCA+m∠ECA+m∠ECD=180°. Use substitution to show that the measures of the three interior angles of the triangle have a sum of 180°.
Answer:
m∠BCD=m∠BCA+m∠BAC+m∠ABC=180° (∠ sum of △)

a. Name the triangle in the figure.
Answer:
△BCF

b. Name a straight angle that will be useful in proving that the sum of the measures of the interior angles of the triangle is 180°.
Answer:
∠GFE
As before, our goal is to show that the sum of the measures of the interior angles of the triangle are equal to the measure of the straight angle. Use what you learned from Exploratory Challenge 1 to show that the measures of the interior angles of a triangle have a sum of 180°.

c. Write your proof below.
Answer:
The straight angle ∠GFE is comprised of ∠GFB, ∠BFC, and ∠EFC. Alternate interior angles of parallel lines are equal in measure (alt. ∠’s, \(\overline{A D}\) || \(\overline{C E}\)). For that reason, ∠BCF=∠EFC and ∠CBF=∠GFB. Since ∠GFE is a straight angle, it is equal to 180°. Then, ∠GFE=∠GFB+∠BFC+∠EFC=180°.
By substitution, ∠GFE=∠CBF+∠BFC+∠BCF=180°. Therefore, the sum of the measures of the interior angles of a triangle is 180° (∠ sum of △).

Question 2.
Given that line AB is parallel to line CE, present an informal argument to prove that the measures of the interior angles of triangle ABC have a sum of 180°.
Eureka Math Grade 8 Module 2 Lesson 13 Exit Ticket Answer Key 13
Answer:
Since \(\overleftrightarrow{A B}\) is parallel to \(\overleftrightarrow{C E}\), the corresponding angles ∠BAC and ∠ECD are equal in measure. Similarly, ∠ABC and ∠ECB are equal in measure because they are alternate interior angles. Since ∠ACD is a straight angle (i.e., equal to 180° in measure), substitution shows that triangle ABC has a sum of 180°. Specifically, the straight angle is made up of ∠ACB, ∠ECB, and ∠ECD. ∠ACB is one of the interior angles of the triangle and one of the angles of the straight angle. We know that ∠ABC has the same measure as ∠ECB and that ∠BAC has the same measure as ∠ECD. Therefore, the sum of the measures of the interior angles will be the same as the sum of the measures of the angles of the straight angle, which is 180°.

Students practice presenting informal arguments about the sum of the angles of a triangle using the theorem to find the measures of missing angles.

Question 1.
In the diagram below, line AB is parallel to line CD, that is, LAB ∥LCD. The measure of ∠ABC is 28° and the measure of ∠EDC is 42°. Find the measure of ∠CED. Explain why you are correct by presenting an informal argument that uses the angle sum of a triangle.
Eureka Math Grade 8 Module 2 Lesson 13 Problem Set Answer Key 15
Answer:
The measure of ∠CED is 110°. This is the correct measure for the angle because ∠ABC and ∠DCE are alternate interior angles of parallel lines. That means that the angles are congruent and have the same measure. Since the angle sum of a triangle is 180°, then ∠CED=180°-(28°+42°) and ∠CED is 110°.

Question 2.
In the diagram below, line AB is parallel to line CD, that is, LAB || LCD . The measure of ∠ABE is 38°, and the measure of ∠EDC is 16°. Find the measure of ∠BED.

Eureka Math Grade 8 Module 2 Lesson 13 Problem Set Answer Key 17
Answer:
The measure of ∠BED is 54°. This is the correct measure for the angle because ∠ABC and ∠DCE are alternate interior angles of parallel lines. That means that the angles are congruent and have the same measure. Since the angle sum of a triangle is 180°, then ∠CED=180°-(38°+16°)=126°. The straight angle ∠BEC is made up of ∠CED and ∠BED. Since we know straight angles measure 180° and ∠CED=126°, then ∠BED is 54°.

Eureka Math Grade 8 Module 2 Lesson 13 Problem Set Answer Key 19
Answer:
The measure of ∠BED is 78°. This is the correct measure for the angle because ∠ABE and ∠DFE are alternate interior angles of parallel lines.

Eureka Math Grade 8 Module 2 Lesson 13 Problem Set Answer Key 31
Answer:
The Lines L1 and L2 are parallel, which means that the alternate interior angles formed by the transversals are equal. Specifically, ∠LMK=∠JKM=72°. Since △JKM has a sum of interior angles equal to 180°,
∠KJM+∠JMK+∠JKM=180°. By substitution, we have 39°+∠JMK+72°=180°; therefore, ∠JMK is 69°.

∠1=∠3=∠5=∠7 and ∠2=∠4=∠6=∠8

a. What did you notice about the measures of ∠1 and ∠5? Why do you think this is so? (Use your transparency if needed.)
Answer:
∠1 and ∠5 are equal in measure. We can translate ∠1 along a vector on line m so that the vertex of ∠1 maps onto the vertex of ∠5. Translations are angle-preserving, so the two angles will coincide.

b. What did you notice about the measures of ∠3 and ∠7? Why do you think this is so? (Use your transparency if needed.) Are there any other pairs of angles with this same relationship? If so, list them.
Answer:
∠3 and ∠7 are equal in measure. We can translate ∠3 along a vector on line m so that the vertex of ∠3 maps onto the vertex of ∠7. Translations are angle-preserving, so the two angles will coincide. Other pairs of angles with this same relationship are ∠4 and ∠8 and ∠2 and ∠6.

c. What did you notice about the measures of ∠4 and ∠6? Why do you think this is so? (Use your transparency if needed.) Is there another pair of angles with this same relationship?
Answer:
The measures of ∠4 and ∠6 are equal. A rotation of 180° around a center would map ∠4 to ∠6. Rotations are angle-preserving, so we know that ∠4 and ∠6 are equal. ∠3 and ∠5 have the same relationship.

Students practice identifying corresponding, alternate interior, and alternate exterior angles from a diagram.

Use the diagram below to do Problems 1–10.
Eureka Math Grade 8 Module 2 Lesson 12 Problem Set Answer Key 50

Question 1.
Identify all pairs of corresponding angles. Are the pairs of corresponding angles equal in measure? How do you know?
Answer:
∠1 and ∠5, ∠4 and ∠8, ∠2 and ∠6, ∠3 and ∠7
There is no information provided about the lines in the diagram being parallel. For that reason, we do not know if the pairs of corresponding angles are equal in measure. If we knew the lines were parallel, we could use translation to map one angle onto another.

Question 2.
Identify all pairs of alternate interior angles. Are the pairs of alternate interior angles equal in measure? How do you know?
Answer:
∠4 and ∠5, ∠3 and ∠6
There is no information provided about the lines in the diagram being parallel. For that reason, we do not know if the pairs of alternate interior angles are equal in measure. If the lines were parallel, we could use rotation to show that the pairs of angles would map onto one another, proving they are equal in measure.

Question 3.
Use an informal argument to describe why ∠1 and ∠8 are equal in measure if L1 || L2.
Answer:
The reason that angle 1 and angle 8 are equal in measure when the lines are parallel is because you can rotate around the midpoint of the segment between the parallel lines. A rotation would then map angle 1 onto angle 8, showing that they are congruent and equal in measure.

Question 4.
Assuming L1∥L2, if the measure of ∠4 is 73°, what is the measure of ∠8? How do you know?
Answer:
The measure of ∠8 is 73°. This must be true because they are corresponding angles of parallel lines.

Question 5.
Assuming L1 || L2, if the measure of ∠3 is 107° degrees, what is the measure of ∠6? How do you know?
Answer:
The measure of ∠6 is 107°. This must be true because they are alternate interior angles of parallel lines.

Question 6.
Assuming L1 || L2, if the measure of ∠2 is 107°, what is the measure of ∠7? How do you know?
Answer:
The measure of ∠7 is 107°. This must be true because they are alternate exterior angles of parallel lines.

Question 7.
Would your answers to Problems 4–6 be the same if you had not been informed that L1 || L2? Why or why not?
Answer:
No. The fact that the lines are parallel is the reason we can state that specific pairs of angles are equal in measure. We can use basic rigid motions to prove that angles associated with parallel lines have the property of being equal in measure when they are corresponding, alternate interior, or alternate exterior angles. If the lines are not parallel, then we could still classify the angles, but we would not know anything about their measures.

Question 8.
Use an informal argument to describe why ∠1 and ∠5 are equal in measure if L1 || L2.
Answer:
The reason that angle 1 and angle 5 are equal in measure when the lines are parallel is because you can translate along a vector equal in length of the segment between the parallel lines; then, angle 1 would map onto angle 5.

Question 9.
Use an informal argument to describe why ∠4 and ∠5 are equal in measure if L1 || L2.
Answer:
The reason that angle 4 and angle 5 are equal in measure when the lines are parallel is because when you rotate angle 4 around the midpoint of the segment between the parallel lines, angle 4 will map onto angle 5.

Question 10.
Assume that L1 is not parallel to L2. Explain why ∠3≠∠7.
Answer:
If the lines are not parallel, then all we know about angle 3 and angle 7 is that they are corresponding angles. If the lines are parallel, we could use translation to map one angle onto the other to show that they are equal in measure. However, we are to assume that the lines are not parallel, which means that their corresponding angles will not be equal in measure.

Eureka Math Grade 8 Module 2 Lesson 12 Exit Ticket Answer Key 20

Question 1.
If L1 || L2, what do you know about ∠2 and ∠6? Use informal arguments to support your claim.
Answer:
They are alternate interior angles because they are on opposite sides of the transversal and inside of lines L1
and L2. Also, the angles are equal in measure because the lines L1 and L2 are parallel. If we rotated angle 2 180° around the midpoint of the segment between the parallel lines, then it would map onto angle 6.

Question 2.
If L1 || L2, what do you know about ∠1 and ∠3? Use informal arguments to support your claim.
Answer:
They are corresponding angles because they are on the same side of the transversal and above each of lines L1
and L2. Also, the angles are equal in measure because the lines L1 and L2 are parallel. If we translated angle 1 along a vector (the same length as the segment between the parallel lines), then it would map onto angle 3.

Answer:
We already know from Exercise 5 that it would take about 23 Californias to make up one U.S. Then the population of the U.S. would be 23 times the population of California, which is
23×3.804×107=87.492×107

The actual population of the U.S. (as of 2012) is approximately 3.14×108. How does the population density of California (i.e., the number of people per square mile) compare with the population density of the U.S.?
Answer:
Population density of California per square mile:
\(\frac{3.804 \times 10^{7}}{1.637 \times 10^{5}}\)=\(\frac{3.804}{1.637}\)×\(\frac{10^{7}}{10^{5}}\)
=2.32376…×102
≈2.32×102
=232
Population density of the U.S. per square mile:
\(\frac{3.14 \times 10^{8}}{3.794 \times 10^{6}}\)=\(\frac{3.14}{3.794}\)×\(\frac{10^{8}}{10^{6}}\)
=0.8276…×102
≈0.83×102
=83
Population density of California compared to the population density of the U.S.:
\(\frac{232}{83}\)=2.7951…
≈2.8
California is about 3 times as dense as the U.S. in terms of population.

Example 1.
The world population is about 7 billion. There are 4.6× 107 ants for every human on the planet. About how many ants are there in the world?
First, write 7 billion in scientific notation: (7× 109).
To find the number of ants in the world, we need to multiply the world population by the known number of ants for each person: (7× 109)(4.6× 107 ).
(7× 109)(4.6× 107 )=(7×4.6)( 109× 107) By repeated use of the associative and commutative properties
=32.2× 1016 By the first law of exponents
=3.22×10× 1016
=3.22× 1017 By the first law of exponents
There are about 3.22× 1017 ants in the world!

Example 2.
A certain social media company processes about 990 billion likes per year. If the company has approximately 8.9× 108 users of the social media, about how many likes is each user responsible for per year? Write your answer in scientific and standard notation.
First, write 990 billion in scientific notation: 9.9× 1011.
To find the number of likes per person, divide the total number of likes by the total number of users: \(\frac{9.9 \times 10^{11}}{8.9 \times 10^{8}}\)
\(\frac{9.9 \times 10^{11}}{8.9 \times 10^{8}}\) = \(\frac{9.9}{8.9}\)×\(\frac{10^{11}}{10^{8}}\) By the product formula
=1.11235…× 103 By the first law of exponents
≈1.1× 103
≈1100
Each user is responsible for about 1.1× 103, or 1,100, likes per year.

Example 3.
In 2010, Americans generated 2.5× 108 tons of garbage. There are about 2,000 landfills in the United States. Assuming that each landfill is the same size and that trash is divided equally among them, determine how many tons of garbage were sent to each landfill in 2010.
First, write 2,000 in scientific notation: 2× 103.
To find the number of tons of garbage sent to each landfill, divide the total weight of the garbage by the number of landfills: \(\frac{2.5 \times 10^{8}}{2 \times 10^{3}}\).
\(\frac{2.5 \times 10^{8}}{2 \times 10^{3}}\) = \(\frac{2.5}{2}\)× \(\frac{10^{8}}{10^{3}}\) By the product formula
=1.25× 105 By the first law of exponents
Each landfill received 1.25× 105 tons of garbage in 2010.
Actually, not all garbage went to landfills. Some of it was recycled and composted. The amount of recycled and composted material accounted for about 85 million tons of the 2.5× 108 tons of garbage. Given this new information, how much garbage was actually sent to each landfill?
First, write 85 million in scientific notation: 8.5× 107.
Next, subtract the amount of recycled and composted material from the garbage: 2.5× 108-8.5× 107. To subtract, we must give each number the same order of magnitude and then use the distributive property.
2.5× 108-8.5× 107=(2.5×10)× 107-8.5× 107 By the first law of exponents
=(2.5×10)-8.5))× 107 By the distributive property
=(25-8.5)× 107
=16.5× 107
=1.65×10× 107
=1.65× 108 By the first law of exponents
Now, divide the new amount of garbage by the number of landfills: \(\frac{1.65 \times 10^{8}}{2 \times 10^{3}}\).
\(\frac{1.65 \times 10^{8}}{2 \times 10^{3}}\) = \(\frac{1.65}{2}\)× \(\frac{10^{8}}{10^{3}}\) By the product formula
=0.825× 105 By the first law of exponents
=0.825×10× 104 By the first law of exponents
=8.25× 104
Each landfill actually received 8.25× 104 tons of garbage in 2010.

Engage NY Math 8th Grade Module 2 Lesson 16 Example Answer Key

Example 1.
Given a right triangle with a hypotenuse with length 13 units and a leg with length 5 units, as shown, determine the length of the other leg.
Engage NY Math 8th Grade Module 2 Lesson 16 Example Answer Key 1
Answer:
52 +b2 =132
52 – 52 + b2 =132 -52
b2 =132 -52
b2 =169-25
b2 =144
b=12
The length of the leg is 12 units.

→ Let b represent the missing leg of the right triangle; then, by the Pythagorean theorem:
52 +b2 =132.
→ If we let a represent the missing leg of the right triangle, then by the Pythagorean theorem:
a2 +52 =132.
→ Which of these two equations is correct: 52 +b2 =132 or a2 +52 =132 ?

→ It does not matter which equation we use as long as we are showing the sum of the squares of the legs as equal to the square of the hypotenuse.
→ Using the first of our two equations, 52 +b2 =132, what can we do to solve for b in the equation?
→ We need to subtract 52 from both sides of the equation.
52 + b2 =132
52 – 52 + b2 =132 -52
b2 =132 -52
→ Point out to students that we are looking at the Pythagorean theorem in a form that allows us to find the length of one of the legs of the right triangle. That is, b2 =c2 -a2 .
→ The length of the leg of the right triangle is 12 units.

Example 2.
The Pythagorean theorem as it applies to missing side lengths of triangles in a real-world problem:
→ Suppose you have a ladder of length 13 feet. Suppose that to make it sturdy enough to climb, you must place the ladder exactly 5 feet from the wall of a building. You need to post a banner on the building 10 feet above the ground. Is the ladder long enough for you to reach the location you need to post the banner?
Engage NY Math 8th Grade Module 2 Lesson 16 Example Answer Key 2
The ladder against the wall forms a right angle. For that reason, we can use the Pythagorean theorem to find out how far up the wall the ladder will reach. If we let h represent the height the ladder can reach, what equation will represent this problem?
→ 52 +h2 =132 or h2 =132 -52

→ Using either equation, we see that this is just like Example 1. We know that the missing side of the triangle is 12 feet. Is the ladder long enough for you to reach the 10-foot banner location?
→ Yes, the ladder allows us to reach 12 feet up the wall.

Example 3.
Pythagorean theorem as it applies to missing side lengths of a right triangle:
→ Given a right triangle with a hypotenuse of length 15 units and a leg of length 9, what is the length of the other leg?
Engage NY Math 8th Grade Module 2 Lesson 16 Example Answer Key 21
→ If we let the length of the missing leg be represented by a, what equation will allow us to determine its value?
→ a2 +92 =152 or a2 =152 -92
→ Finish the computation:
a2 =225-81
a2 =144
a=12
→ The length of the missing leg of this triangle is 12 units.

Example 1.
Now that we know what the Pythagorean theorem is, let’s practice using it to find the length of a hypotenuse of a right triangle.
Determine the length of the hypotenuse of the right triangle.
Engage NY Math 8th Grade Module 2 Lesson 15 Example Answer Key 1
The Pythagorean theorem states that for right triangles a2 +b2 =c2 , where a and b are the legs, and c is the hypotenuse. Then,
a2 +b2 =c2
62 +82 =c2

Let M=993,456,789,098,765. Find the smallest power of 10 that will exceed M.
Answer:
M=993 456 789 098 765<999 999 999 999 999 < 1 000 000 000 000 000=1015. Because M has 15 digits, 1015 will exceed it.

Exercise 2.
Let M=78,491\(\frac{899}{987}\). Find the smallest power of 10 that will exceed M.
Answer:
M=78491\(\frac{899}{987}\)<78492<99999<100 000=105.
Therefore, 105 will exceed M.

Exercise 3.
Let M be a positive integer. Explain how to find the smallest power of 10 that exceeds it.
Answer:
If M is a positive integer, then the power of 10 that exceeds it will be equal to the number of digits in M. For example, if M were a 10-digit number, then 1010 would exceed M. If M is a positive number, but not an integer, then the power of 10 that would exceed it would be the same power of 10 that would exceed the integer to the right of M on a number line. For example, if M=5678.9, the integer to the right of M is 5,679. Then based on the first explanation, 104 exceeds both this integer and M; this is because M=5678.9<5679<10 000=104.
