Use the following scenario to answer the questions. Justina dreamed last night that she was warding off villains in a life-or-death battle outside a fortified caste. In the dream, she attempted to cross the moat but saw that it was filled with grotesques swamp creatures with warty green skin and she recoiled in fear. Knowing there was only one way to reach safety, she flew over the top of the castle and landed among the weeds in the inner courtyard. She was surprised to run into her seventh period geometry teacher, Ms. Hargroves, but seeing that her teacher had a spear, compass, and workbook with her, Justina knew they would prevail. Ms. Hargroves told Justina that the key to defeating the villains was to write the theorems from the homework on the castle walls as protection against the invaders. Justina scrambled to write the complicated theorems before the menacing villains closed in. Just when the towering castle walls were about to be sieged, Justina awoke from her dream with a start.
