If angle a = 70° and angle b = 39° what is the length of angle d?

56% Answer Correctly
157°
146°
110°
151°

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° - 70° - 39° = 71°

So, d° = 39° + 71° = 110°

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° - 70° = 110°


2

When two lines intersect, adjacent angles are __________ (they add up to 180°) and angles across from either other are __________ (they're equal).

61% Answer Correctly

acute, obtuse

supplementary, vertical

vertical, supplementary

obtuse, acute


Solution

Angles around a line add up to 180°. Angles around a point add up to 360°. When two lines intersect, adjacent angles are supplementary (they add up to 180°) and angles across from either other are vertical (they're equal).


3

A trapezoid is a quadrilateral with one set of __________ sides.

71% Answer Correctly

equal length

right angle

equal angle

parallel


Solution

A trapezoid is a quadrilateral with one set of parallel sides.


4

The dimensions of this cylinder are height (h) = 1 and radius (r) = 7. What is the surface area?

48% Answer Correctly
112π
132π
60π
198π

Solution

The surface area of a cylinder is 2πr2 + 2πrh:

sa = 2πr2 + 2πrh
sa = 2π(72) + 2π(7 x 1)
sa = 2π(49) + 2π(7)
sa = (2 x 49)π + (2 x 7)π
sa = 98π + 14π
sa = 112π


5

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

78% Answer Correctly

a = π d

a = π r

a = π r2

a = π d2


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.
