1

If angle a = 53° and angle b = 33° what is the length of angle c?

71% Answer Correctly
116°
107°
77°
94°

Solution

The sum of the interior angles of a triangle is 180°:
180° = a° + b° + c°
c° = 180° - a° - b°
c° = 180° - 53° - 33° = 94°


2

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

84% Answer Correctly

Inside

Last

First

Odd


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

Solve -6b - 6b = 2b - 9z - 5 for b in terms of z.

34% Answer Correctly
-1\(\frac{4}{5}\)z - \(\frac{1}{5}\)
\(\frac{3}{8}\)z + \(\frac{5}{8}\)
2\(\frac{1}{2}\)z + \(\frac{1}{2}\)
-4z - 4

Solution

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

-6b - 6z = 2b - 9z - 5
-6b = 2b - 9z - 5 + 6z
-6b - 2b = -9z - 5 + 6z
-8b = -3z - 5
b = \( \frac{-3z - 5}{-8} \)
b = \( \frac{-3z}{-8} \) + \( \frac{-5}{-8} \)
b = \(\frac{3}{8}\)z + \(\frac{5}{8}\)


4

A quadrilateral is a shape with __________ sides.

91% Answer Correctly

3

2

4

5


Solution

A quadrilateral is a shape with four sides. The perimeter of a quadrilateral is the sum of the lengths of its four sides.


5

Which of the following statements about parallel lines with a transversal is not correct?

36% Answer Correctly

angles in the same position on different parallel lines are called corresponding angles

all acute angles equal each other

same-side interior angles are complementary and equal each other

all of the angles formed by a transversal are called interior angles


Solution

Parallel lines are lines that share the same slope (steepness) and therefore never intersect. A transversal occurs when a set of parallel lines are crossed by another line. All of the angles formed by a transversal are called interior angles and angles in the same position on different parallel lines equal each other (a° = w°, b° = x°, c° = z°, d° = y°) and are called corresponding angles. Alternate interior angles are equal (a° = z°, b° = y°, c° = w°, d° = x°) and all acute angles (a° = c° = w° = z°) and all obtuse angles (b° = d° = x° = y°) equal each other. Same-side interior angles are supplementary and add up to 180° (e.g. a° + d° = 180°, d° + c° = 180°).
