1

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

obtuse, acute

acute, obtuse


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).


2

If angle a = 25° and angle b = 61° what is the length of angle c?

71% Answer Correctly
94°
70°
57°
97°

Solution

The sum of the interior angles of a triangle is 180°:
180° = a° + b° + c°
c° = 180° - a° - b°
c° = 180° - 25° - 61° = 94°


3

Solve for x:
-7x + 2 < -7 + 5x

55% Answer Correctly
x < -\(\frac{1}{3}\)
x < \(\frac{3}{7}\)
x < \(\frac{3}{4}\)
x < -6

Solution

To solve this equation, repeatedly do the same thing to both sides of the equation until the variable is isolated on one side of the < sign and the answer on the other.

-7x + 2 < -7 + 5x
-7x < -7 + 5x - 2
-7x - 5x < -7 - 2
-12x < -9
x < \( \frac{-9}{-12} \)
x < \(\frac{3}{4}\)


4

If the area of this square is 1, what is the length of one of the diagonals?

68% Answer Correctly
2\( \sqrt{2} \)
\( \sqrt{2} \)
3\( \sqrt{2} \)
4\( \sqrt{2} \)

Solution

To find the diagonal we need to know the length of one of the square's sides. We know the area and the area of a square is the length of one side squared:

a = s2

so the length of one side of the square is:

s = \( \sqrt{a} \) = \( \sqrt{1} \) = 1

The Pythagorean theorem defines the square of the hypotenuse (diagonal) of a triangle with a right angle as the sum of the squares of the other two sides:

c2 = a2 + b2
c2 = 12 + 12
c2 = 2
c = \( \sqrt{2} \)


5

If AD = 29 and BD = 26, AB = ?

76% Answer Correctly
8
13
3
15

Solution

The entire length of this line is represented by AD which is AB + BD:

AD = AB + BD

Solving for AB:

AB = AD - BD
AB = 29 - 26
AB = 3
