If angle a = 49° and angle b = 53° what is the length of angle d?

56% Answer Correctly
131°
114°
139°
118°

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° - 49° - 53° = 78°

So, d° = 53° + 78° = 131°

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° - 49° = 131°


2

To multiply binomials, use the FOIL method. Which of the following is not a part of the FOIL method?

83% Answer Correctly

First

Inside

Odd

Last


Solution

To multiply binomials, use the FOIL method. FOIL stands for First, Outside, Inside, Last and refers to the position of each term in the parentheses.


3

The dimensions of this cylinder are height (h) = 8 and radius (r) = 7. What is the volume?

62% Answer Correctly
50π
576π
392π

Solution

The volume of a cylinder is πr2h:

v = πr2h
v = π(72 x 8)
v = 392π


4

Which of the following expressions contains exactly two terms?

82% Answer Correctly

polynomial

quadratic

monomial

binomial


Solution

A monomial contains one term, a binomial contains two terms, and a polynomial contains more than two terms.


5

Which of the following is not true about both rectangles and squares?

63% Answer Correctly

all interior angles are right angles

the perimeter is the sum of the lengths of all four sides

the area is length x width

the lengths of all sides are equal


Solution

A rectangle is a parallelogram containing four right angles. Opposite sides (a = c, b = d) are equal and the perimeter is the sum of the lengths of all sides (a + b + c + d) or, comonly, 2 x length x width. The area of a rectangle is length x width. A square is a rectangle with four equal length sides. The perimeter of a square is 4 x length of one side (4s) and the area is the length of one side squared (s2).
