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, acute, obtuse

right, obtuse, acute


Solution

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


2

Solve for a:
a2 + + 0 = -2a + 3

48% Answer Correctly
-2 or -5
9 or -8
5 or -8
1 or -3

Solution

The first step to solve a quadratic expression that's not set to zero is to solve the equation so that it is set to zero:

a2 + + 0 = -2a + 3
a2 + + 0 - 3 = -2a
a2 + + 2a - 3 = 0
a2 + 2a - 3 = 0

Next, factor the quadratic equation:

a2 + 2a - 3 = 0
(a - 1)(a + 3) = 0

For this expression to be true, the left side of the expression must equal zero. Therefore, either (a - 1) or (a + 3) must equal zero:

If (a - 1) = 0, a must equal 1
If (a + 3) = 0, a must equal -3

So the solution is that a = 1 or -3


3

If angle a = 68° and angle b = 61° what is the length of angle c?

71% Answer Correctly
99°
51°
104°
106°

Solution

The sum of the interior angles of a triangle is 180°:
180° = a° + b° + c°
c° = 180° - a° - b°
c° = 180° - 68° - 61° = 51°


4

What is 6a - 5a?

80% Answer Correctly
1a
30a2
a2
11a2

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.

6a - 5a = 1a


5

If a = c = 1, b = d = 9, and the blue angle = 79°, what is the area of this parallelogram?

66% Answer Correctly
6
18
48
9

Solution

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

a = l x w
a = a x b
a = 1 x 9
a = 9
