If angle a = 36° and angle b = 25° what is the length of angle d?

56% Answer Correctly
156°
144°
122°
134°

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° - 36° - 25° = 119°

So, d° = 25° + 119° = 144°

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° - 36° = 144°


2

The formula for the area of a circle is which of the following?

24% Answer Correctly

c = π d2

c = π r2

c = π r

c = π d


Solution

The circumference of a circle is the distance around its perimeter and equals π (approx. 3.14159) x diameter: c = π d. The area of a circle is π x (radius)2 : a = π r2.

This diagram represents two parallel lines with a transversal. If d° = 154, what is the value of z°?

73% Answer Correctly
40
144
164
26

Solution

For parallel lines with a transversal, the following relationships apply:

  • angles in the same position on different parallel lines equal each other (a° = w°, b° = x°, c° = z°, d° = y°)
  • alternate interior angles are equal (a° = z°, b° = y°, c° = w°, d° = x°)
  • all acute angles (a° = c° = w° = z°) and all obtuse angles (b° = d° = x° = y°) equal each other
  • same-side interior angles are supplementary and add up to 180° (e.g. a° + d° = 180°, d° + c° = 180°)

Applying these relationships starting with d° = 154, the value of z° is 26.

The dimensions of this cylinder are height (h) = 8 and radius (r) = 2. What is the volume?

62% Answer Correctly
112π
32π
128π

Solution

The volume of a cylinder is πr2h:

v = πr2h
v = π(22 x 8)
v = 32π


5

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

42% Answer Correctly

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

y-intercept

slope

x-intercept


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.
