1

If angle a = 31° and angle b = 45° what is the length of angle d?

56% Answer Correctly
149°
124°
117°
111°

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° - 31° - 45° = 104°

So, d° = 45° + 104° = 149°

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° - 31° = 149°


2

The dimensions of this trapezoid are a = 4, b = 3, c = 6, d = 2, and h = 3. What is the area?

51% Answer Correctly
16\(\frac{1}{2}\)
22
7\(\frac{1}{2}\)
9

Solution

The area of a trapezoid is one-half the sum of the lengths of the parallel sides multiplied by the height:

a = ½(b + d)(h)
a = ½(3 + 2)(3)
a = ½(5)(3)
a = ½(15) = \( \frac{15}{2} \)
a = 7\(\frac{1}{2}\)


3

The dimensions of this cube are height (h) = 2, length (l) = 9, and width (w) = 4. What is the volume?

83% Answer Correctly
72
108
20
105

Solution

The volume of a cube is height x length x width:

v = h x l x w
v = 2 x 9 x 4
v = 72


4

Simplify 4a x 2b.

86% Answer Correctly
8\( \frac{a}{b} \)
8\( \frac{b}{a} \)
8a2b2
8ab

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.

4a x 2b = (4 x 2) (a x b) = 8ab


5

Simplify (9a)(2ab) + (7a2)(3b).

65% Answer Correctly
-3a2b
39a2b
39ab2
110a2b

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.

(9a)(2ab) + (7a2)(3b)
(9 x 2)(a x a x b) + (7 x 3)(a2 x b)
(18)(a1+1 x b) + (21)(a2b)
18a2b + 21a2b
39a2b
