Solve for b:
9b + 5 < \( \frac{b}{5} \)

45% Answer Correctly
b < 1\(\frac{25}{29}\)
b < -\(\frac{25}{44}\)
b < -1\(\frac{1}{7}\)
b < \(\frac{7}{18}\)

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 < sign and the answer on the other.

9b + 5 < \( \frac{b}{5} \)
5 x (9b + 5) < b
(5 x 9b) + (5 x 5) < b
45b + 25 < b
45b + 25 - b < 0
45b - b < -25
44b < -25
b < \( \frac{-25}{44} \)
b < -\(\frac{25}{44}\)

If a = c = 6, b = d = 9, and the blue angle = 65°, what is the area of this parallelogram?

66% Answer Correctly
40
27
9
54

Solution

The area of a parallelogram is equal to its length x width:

a = l x w
a = a x b
a = 6 x 9
a = 54


3

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

supplementary, vertical

acute, obtuse

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).


4

The dimensions of this cube are height (h) = 3, length (l) = 9, and width (w) = 4. What is the volume?

83% Answer Correctly
140
36
42
108

Solution

The volume of a cube is height x length x width:

v = h x l x w
v = 3 x 9 x 4
v = 108


5

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

58% Answer Correctly

sum of interior angles = 180°

exterior angle = sum of two adjacent interior angles

perimeter = sum of side lengths

area = ½bh


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.
