CRITICAL THINKING
When Adeel was working
Source:
on an art project, he drew a four-sided figure
with two pairs of opposite parallel sides. He
noticed some patterns relating to the angles in
the figure. List as many patterns as you can about
a 4-sided figure with two pairs of opposite parallel sides.
RESEARCH
43.
Use the Internet or other resource to find mathematicians like
John Playfair who discovered new concepts and proved new theorems related
to parallel lines. Briefly describe their discoveries.
