I wish I had one.  I've solved all the problems except this one.  I kept trying to do something with the midpoints connected and then parallel lines,  but got nowhere.  - Sue

For number 4 connect G to AM through U and call the point D.  Do the same with G through V to MB called E.  Then use Theorem 25 and 17 to make UGV ~ DGE.  Figuring out the rest is easy. Hope that helps! -Jennie

for 6,  used theorem 15 twice.  don't draw anything else new.  Sue

Does anyone have a hint for #3 a. I got part way but then got stuck. I could also use a hint on #8. Thanks

For #8, draw a line parallel to AC downwards from point B and connect to CD extended below D. Use similar triangles between new triangle and ADC and find ratios of sides.  Relate the similar angles between the three triangles.  Now...I don't notice anything for #1.  Jessica

For number 4 connect G to AM through U and call the point D. Do the same with G through V to MB called E. Then use Theorem 25 and 17 to make UGV ~ DGE. Figuring out the rest is easy. Hope that helps! -Jennie

For #8, draw a line parallel to AC downwards from point B and connect to CD extended below D. Use similar triangles between new triangle and ADC and find ratios of sides. Relate the similar angles between the three triangles. Now...I don't notice anything for #1. Jessica
