1

Order the following types of angle from least number of degrees to most number of degrees.

75% Answer Correctly

acute, right, obtuse

right, obtuse, acute

acute, obtuse, right

right, acute, obtuse


Solution

An acute angle measures less than 90°, a right angle measures 90°, and an obtuse angle measures more than 90°.


2

Solve 9a - 7a = 7a + 8x - 1 for a in terms of x.

34% Answer Correctly
\(\frac{3}{4}\)x - 2\(\frac{1}{4}\)
x - 3
7\(\frac{1}{2}\)x - \(\frac{1}{2}\)
2x - 3

Solution

To solve this equation, isolate the variable for which you are solving (a) on one side of the equation and put everything else on the other side.

9a - 7x = 7a + 8x - 1
9a = 7a + 8x - 1 + 7x
9a - 7a = 8x - 1 + 7x
2a = 15x - 1
a = \( \frac{15x - 1}{2} \)
a = \( \frac{15x}{2} \) + \( \frac{-1}{2} \)
a = 7\(\frac{1}{2}\)x - \(\frac{1}{2}\)


3

Simplify (6a)(7ab) + (6a2)(2b).

65% Answer Correctly
104ab2
54a2b
-30a2b
-30ab2

Solution

To multiply monomials, multiply the coefficients (the numbers that come before the variables) of each term, add the exponents of like variables, and multiply the different variables together.

(6a)(7ab) + (6a2)(2b)
(6 x 7)(a x a x b) + (6 x 2)(a2 x b)
(42)(a1+1 x b) + (12)(a2b)
42a2b + 12a2b
54a2b


4

If side a = 6, side b = 9, what is the length of the hypotenuse of this right triangle?

64% Answer Correctly
\( \sqrt{37} \)
\( \sqrt{74} \)
\( \sqrt{58} \)
\( \sqrt{117} \)

Solution

According to the Pythagorean theorem, the hypotenuse squared is equal to the sum of the two perpendicular sides squared:

c2 = a2 + b2
c2 = 62 + 92
c2 = 36 + 81
c2 = 117
c = \( \sqrt{117} \)


5

A(n) __________ is to a parallelogram as a square is to a rectangle.

52% Answer Correctly

trapezoid

triangle

rhombus

quadrilateral


Solution

A rhombus is a parallelogram with four equal-length sides. A square is a rectangle with four equal-length sides.
