1

If angle a = 69° and angle b = 26° what is the length of angle c?

71% Answer Correctly
85°
122°
132°
96°

Solution

The sum of the interior angles of a triangle is 180°:
180° = a° + b° + c°
c° = 180° - a° - b°
c° = 180° - 69° - 26° = 85°


2

Solve for z:
z2 + 9z - 30 = 3z - 3

48% Answer Correctly
8 or -4
5 or 2
3 or -9
3 or -6

Solution

The first step to solve a quadratic expression that's not set to zero is to solve the equation so that it is set to zero:

z2 + 9z - 30 = 3z - 3
z2 + 9z - 30 + 3 = 3z
z2 + 9z - 3z - 27 = 0
z2 + 6z - 27 = 0

Next, factor the quadratic equation:

z2 + 6z - 27 = 0
(z - 3)(z + 9) = 0

For this expression to be true, the left side of the expression must equal zero. Therefore, either (z - 3) or (z + 9) must equal zero:

If (z - 3) = 0, z must equal 3
If (z + 9) = 0, z must equal -9

So the solution is that z = 3 or -9


3

Simplify 5a x 2b.

86% Answer Correctly
7ab
10a2b2
10ab
10\( \frac{b}{a} \)

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.

5a x 2b = (5 x 2) (a x b) = 10ab


4

If a = c = 1, b = d = 3, what is the area of this rectangle?

80% Answer Correctly
3
64
56
18

Solution

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

a = l x w
a = a x b
a = 1 x 3
a = 3


5

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

51% Answer Correctly

rhombus

triangle

quadrilateral

trapezoid


Solution

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