1

If angle a = 54° and angle b = 58° what is the length of angle c?

71% Answer Correctly
68°
109°
62°
66°

Solution

The sum of the interior angles of a triangle is 180°:
180° = a° + b° + c°
c° = 180° - a° - b°
c° = 180° - 54° - 58° = 68°


2

Which types of triangles will always have at least two sides of equal length?

54% Answer Correctly

isosceles and right

equilateral and right

equilateral and isosceles

equilateral, isosceles and right


Solution

An isosceles triangle has two sides of equal length. An equilateral triangle has three sides of equal length. In a right triangle, two sides meet at a right angle.


3

Which of the following statements about math operations is incorrect?

70% Answer Correctly

all of these statements are correct

you can multiply monomials that have different variables and different exponents

you can subtract monomials that have the same variable and the same exponent

you can add monomials that have the same variable and the same exponent


Solution

You can only add or subtract monomials that have the same variable and the same exponent. For example, 2a + 4a = 6a and 4a2 - a2 = 3a2 but 2a + 4b and 7a - 3b cannot be combined. However, you can multiply and divide monomials with unlike terms. For example, 2a x 6b = 12ab.


4

For this diagram, the Pythagorean theorem states that b2 = ?

47% Answer Correctly

c - a

a2 - c2

c2 - a2

c2 + a2


Solution

The Pythagorean theorem defines the relationship between the side lengths of a right triangle. The length of the hypotenuse squared (c2) is equal to the sum of the two perpendicular sides squared (a2 + b2): c2 = a2 + b2 or, solved for c, \(c = \sqrt{a + b}\)


5

Which of the following is not true about both rectangles and squares?

63% Answer Correctly

the lengths of all sides are equal

all interior angles are right angles

the area is length x width

the perimeter is the sum of the lengths of all four sides


Solution

A rectangle is a parallelogram containing four right angles. Opposite sides (a = c, b = d) are equal and the perimeter is the sum of the lengths of all sides (a + b + c + d) or, comonly, 2 x length x width. The area of a rectangle is length x width. A square is a rectangle with four equal length sides. The perimeter of a square is 4 x length of one side (4s) and the area is the length of one side squared (s2).
