1

If angle a = 50° and angle b = 40° what is the length of angle c?

71% Answer Correctly
122°
80°
124°
90°

Solution

The sum of the interior angles of a triangle is 180°:
180° = a° + b° + c°
c° = 180° - a° - b°
c° = 180° - 50° - 40° = 90°


2

Which of the following statements about a parallelogram is not true?

50% Answer Correctly

the perimeter of a parallelogram is the sum of the lengths of all sides

opposite sides and adjacent angles are equal

the area of a parallelogram is base x height

a parallelogram is a quadrilateral


Solution

A parallelogram is a quadrilateral with two sets of parallel sides. Opposite sides (a = c, b = d) and angles (red = red, blue = blue) are equal. The area of a parallelogram is base x height and the perimeter is the sum of the lengths of all sides (a + b + c + d).


3

If a = 9, b = 6, c = 8, and d = 9, what is the perimeter of this quadrilateral?

88% Answer Correctly
16
17
32
14

Solution

Perimeter is equal to the sum of the four sides:

p = a + b + c + d
p = 9 + 6 + 8 + 9
p = 32


4

If angle a = 50° and angle b = 57° what is the length of angle d?

56% Answer Correctly
136°
138°
130°
140°

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° - 50° - 57° = 73°

So, d° = 57° + 73° = 130°

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° - 50° = 130°

Simplify 7a x 4b.

86% Answer Correctly
28ab
28a2b2
28\( \frac{a}{b} \)
11ab

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.

7a x 4b = (7 x 4) (a x b) = 28ab
