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

When two lines intersect, adjacent angles are __________ (they add up to 180°) and angles across from either other are __________ (they're equal).

60% Answer Correctly

supplementary, vertical

vertical, supplementary

acute, obtuse

obtuse, acute


Solution

Angles around a line add up to 180°. Angles around a point add up to 360°. When two lines intersect, adjacent angles are supplementary (they add up to 180°) and angles across from either other are vertical (they're equal).


3

The endpoints of this line segment are at (-2, 6) and (2, -4). What is the slope-intercept equation for this line?

41% Answer Correctly
y = x - 2
y = 1\(\frac{1}{2}\)x - 3
y = \(\frac{1}{2}\)x + 1
y = -2\(\frac{1}{2}\)x + 1

Solution

The slope-intercept equation for a line is y = mx + b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept of the line. From the graph, you can see that the y-intercept (the y-value from the point where the line crosses the y-axis) is 1. The slope of this line is the change in y divided by the change in x. The endpoints of this line segment are at (-2, 6) and (2, -4) so the slope becomes:

m = \( \frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x} \) = \( \frac{(-4.0) - (6.0)}{(2) - (-2)} \) = \( \frac{-10}{4} \)
m = -2\(\frac{1}{2}\)

Plugging these values into the slope-intercept equation:

y = -2\(\frac{1}{2}\)x + 1


4

Breaking apart a quadratic expression into a pair of binomials is called:

74% Answer Correctly

normalizing

deconstructing

factoring

squaring


Solution

To factor a quadratic expression, apply the FOIL (First, Outside, Inside, Last) method in reverse.


5

If a = c = 8, b = d = 5, and the blue angle = 54°, what is the area of this parallelogram?

65% Answer Correctly
9
40
5
35

Solution

The area of a parallelogram is equal to its length x width:

a = l x w
a = a x b
a = 8 x 5
a = 40
