1

Order the following types of angle from least number of degrees to most number of degrees.

75% Answer Correctly

right, acute, obtuse

right, obtuse, acute

acute, right, obtuse

acute, obtuse, right


Solution

An acute angle measures less than 90°, a right angle measures 90°, and an obtuse angle measures more than 90°.


2

The endpoints of this line segment are at (-2, -6) and (2, 4). What is the slope of this line?

46% Answer Correctly
-\(\frac{1}{2}\)
2\(\frac{1}{2}\)
-1
2

Solution

The slope of this line is the change in y divided by the change in x. The endpoints of this line segment are at (-2, -6) and (2, 4) so the slope becomes:

m = \( \frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x} \) = \( \frac{(4.0) - (-6.0)}{(2) - (-2)} \) = \( \frac{10}{4} \)
m = 2\(\frac{1}{2}\)


3

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

57% Answer Correctly

area = ½bh

sum of interior angles = 180°

perimeter = sum of side lengths

exterior angle = sum of two adjacent interior angles


Solution

A triangle is a three-sided polygon. It has three interior angles that add up to 180° (a + b + c = 180°). An exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the two interior angles that are opposite (d = b + c). The perimeter of a triangle is equal to the sum of the lengths of its three sides, the height of a triangle is equal to the length from the base to the opposite vertex (angle) and the area equals one-half triangle base x height: a = ½ base x height.


4

Solve for z:
z2 + 12z + 11 = 5z + 5

48% Answer Correctly
-4 or -6
-2 or -8
5 or -6
-1 or -6

Solution

The first step to solve a quadratic expression that's not set to zero is to solve the equation so that it is set to zero:

z2 + 12z + 11 = 5z + 5
z2 + 12z + 11 - 5 = 5z
z2 + 12z - 5z + 6 = 0
z2 + 7z + 6 = 0

Next, factor the quadratic equation:

z2 + 7z + 6 = 0
(z + 1)(z + 6) = 0

For this expression to be true, the left side of the expression must equal zero. Therefore, either (z + 1) or (z + 6) must equal zero:

If (z + 1) = 0, z must equal -1
If (z + 6) = 0, z must equal -6

So the solution is that z = -1 or -6


5

If a = 2, b = 4, c = 4, and d = 3, what is the perimeter of this quadrilateral?

88% Answer Correctly
13
22
12
18

Solution

Perimeter is equal to the sum of the four sides:

p = a + b + c + d
p = 2 + 4 + 4 + 3
p = 13
