Subject Area: X-Mathematics (former standards - 2008)
Grade: 912
Body of Knowledge: Geometry
Idea: Level 3: Strategic Thinking & Complex Reasoning
Standard: Quadrilaterals - Classify and understand relationships among quadrilaterals (rectangle, parallelogram, kite, etc.). Relate geometry to algebra by using coordinate geometry to determine regularity, congruence, and similarity. Use properties of congruent and similar quadrilaterals to solve problems involving lengths and areas, and prove theorems involving quadrilaterals.

| Sample Item 2 | Four students are choreographing their dance routine for the high school talent show. The stage is rectangular and measures 15 yards by 10 yards. The stage is represented by the coordinate grid below. Three of the students—Riley (R), Krista (K), and Julian (J)—graphed their starting positions, as shown below. Let H represent Hannah’s starting position on the stage. What should be the x-coordinate of point H so that RKJH is a parallelogram? |
