9. ASSESS REASONABLENESS A monument will be at the circumcenter of a
triangular plot of land at the state capital. On the coordinate grid, the vertices
of the triangular plot of land are A(1, 5), B(7, 5), and C(8, 0). Estimate the
coordinates of the location where the monument will be built. Calculate the
coordinates to the nearest tenth. Explain why the location makes sense.

10. ASSESS REASONABLENESS The designers of a new amusement park want to


locate the restrooms the same distance from the park's entrance, the
fountain, and the food court. Estimate the coordinates of the restrooms.
Calculate the coordinates to the nearest tenth. Explain why the location
makes sense.

21. CREATE On a baseball diamond, home plate and second base lie on the perpendicular
bisector of the line segment that joins first and third base. First base is 90 feet from home
plate. How far is it from third base to home plate? Sketch a baseball diamond, labeling
home plate as point A, first base as B, second base as C, and third base as D. Label the
intersection of AC and BD as E. Using the Perpendicular Bisector Theorem, determine
how far it is from third base to home plate. Describe your conclusion in the context of the
situation.

supplied in the diagram, he can conclude that K is on the perpendicular
bisector of LM . Describe the error. What feedback or support can you
provide to help him correct the error?
