1

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

75% Answer Correctly

acute, obtuse, right

acute, right, obtuse

right, obtuse, acute

right, acute, obtuse


Solution

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


2

The formula for volume of a cube in terms of height (h), length (l), and width (w) is which of the following?

67% Answer Correctly

h2 x l2 x w2

h x l x w

2lw x 2wh + 2lh

lw x wh + lh


Solution

A cube is a rectangular solid box with a height (h), length (l), and width (w). The volume is h x l x w and the surface area is 2lw x 2wh + 2lh.


3

If the base of this triangle is 3 and the height is 8, what is the area?

58% Answer Correctly
12
42
44
30

Solution

The area of a triangle is equal to ½ base x height:

a = ½bh
a = ½ x 3 x 8 = \( \frac{24}{2} \) = 12


4

Solve 6a + 3a = 7a - x - 8 for a in terms of x.

34% Answer Correctly
\(\frac{13}{17}\)x + \(\frac{1}{17}\)
-\(\frac{8}{15}\)x + \(\frac{3}{5}\)
-7x - 1
4x + 8

Solution

To solve this equation, isolate the variable for which you are solving (a) on one side of the equation and put everything else on the other side.

6a + 3x = 7a - x - 8
6a = 7a - x - 8 - 3x
6a - 7a = -x - 8 - 3x
-a = -4x - 8
a = \( \frac{-4x - 8}{-1} \)
a = \( \frac{-4x}{-1} \) + \( \frac{-8}{-1} \)
a = 4x + 8


5

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

41% Answer Correctly
y = -\(\frac{1}{2}\)x - 3
y = -2\(\frac{1}{2}\)x + 1
y = -3x + 0
y = -1\(\frac{1}{2}\)x + 1

Solution

The slope-intercept equation for a line is y = mx + b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept of the line. From the graph, you can see that the y-intercept (the y-value from the point where the line crosses the y-axis) is -3. 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, -2) and (2, -4) so the slope becomes:

m = \( \frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x} \) = \( \frac{(-4.0) - (-2.0)}{(2) - (-2)} \) = \( \frac{-2}{4} \)
m = -\(\frac{1}{2}\)

Plugging these values into the slope-intercept equation:

y = -\(\frac{1}{2}\)x - 3
