1

If angle a = 46° and angle b = 65° what is the length of angle c?

71% Answer Correctly
69°
58°
83°
82°

Solution

The sum of the interior angles of a triangle is 180°:
180° = a° + b° + c°
c° = 180° - a° - b°
c° = 180° - 46° - 65° = 69°


2

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

76% Answer Correctly

right, acute, obtuse

acute, right, obtuse

right, obtuse, acute

acute, obtuse, right


Solution

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


3

What is 2a - 9a?

80% Answer Correctly
18a2
a2
-7a
-7a2

Solution

To combine like terms, add or subtract the coefficients (the numbers that come before the variables) of terms that have the same variable raised to the same exponent.

2a - 9a = -7a


4

If side a = 1, side b = 5, what is the length of the hypotenuse of this right triangle?

64% Answer Correctly
\( \sqrt{61} \)
\( \sqrt{17} \)
\( \sqrt{26} \)
\( \sqrt{117} \)

Solution

According to the Pythagorean theorem, the hypotenuse squared is equal to the sum of the two perpendicular sides squared:

c2 = a2 + b2
c2 = 12 + 52
c2 = 1 + 25
c2 = 26
c = \( \sqrt{26} \)


5

Solve for b:
8b + 3 = \( \frac{b}{-2} \)

46% Answer Correctly
1\(\frac{1}{6}\)
-\(\frac{6}{17}\)
-\(\frac{3}{7}\)
-\(\frac{3}{10}\)

Solution

To solve this equation, repeatedly do the same thing to both sides of the equation until the variable is isolated on one side of the equal sign and the answer on the other.

8b + 3 = \( \frac{b}{-2} \)
-2 x (8b + 3) = b
(-2 x 8b) + (-2 x 3) = b
-16b - 6 = b
-16b - 6 - b = 0
-16b - b = 6
-17b = 6
b = \( \frac{6}{-17} \)
b = -\(\frac{6}{17}\)
