1

If angle a = 22° and angle b = 64° what is the length of angle d?

56% Answer Correctly
158°
123°
112°
144°

Solution

An exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the two interior angles that are opposite:

d° = b° + c°

To find angle c, remember that the sum of the interior angles of a triangle is 180°:

180° = a° + b° + c°
c° = 180° - a° - b°
c° = 180° - 22° - 64° = 94°

So, d° = 64° + 94° = 158°

A shortcut to get this answer is to remember that angles around a line add up to 180°:

a° + d° = 180°
d° = 180° - a°
d° = 180° - 22° = 158°


2

Which of the following is not a part of PEMDAS, the acronym for math order of operations?

91% Answer Correctly

pairs

division

addition

exponents


Solution

When solving an equation with two variables, replace the variables with the values given and then solve the now variable-free equation. (Remember order of operations, PEMDAS, Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication/Division, Addition/Subtraction.)


3

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

52% Answer Correctly

rhombus

quadrilateral

triangle

trapezoid


Solution

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


4

Which of the following is not required to define the slope-intercept equation for a line?

42% Answer Correctly

x-intercept

y-intercept

\({\Delta y \over \Delta x}\)

slope


Solution

A line on the coordinate grid can be defined by a slope-intercept equation: y = mx + b. For a given value of x, the value of y can be determined given the slope (m) and y-intercept (b) of the line. The slope of a line is change in y over change in x, \({\Delta y \over \Delta x}\), and the y-intercept is the y-coordinate where the line crosses the vertical y-axis.


5

A quadrilateral is a shape with __________ sides.

91% Answer Correctly

5

2

3

4


Solution

A quadrilateral is a shape with four sides. The perimeter of a quadrilateral is the sum of the lengths of its four sides.
