If angle a = 67° and angle b = 38° what is the length of angle d?

56% Answer Correctly
113°
115°
132°
121°

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° - 67° - 38° = 75°

So, d° = 38° + 75° = 113°

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° - 67° = 113°


2

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

76% Answer Correctly

right, acute, obtuse

right, obtuse, acute

acute, right, obtuse

acute, obtuse, right


Solution

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


3

If the area of this square is 16, what is the length of one of the diagonals?

69% Answer Correctly
9\( \sqrt{2} \)
3\( \sqrt{2} \)
4\( \sqrt{2} \)
6\( \sqrt{2} \)

Solution

To find the diagonal we need to know the length of one of the square's sides. We know the area and the area of a square is the length of one side squared:

a = s2

so the length of one side of the square is:

s = \( \sqrt{a} \) = \( \sqrt{16} \) = 4

The Pythagorean theorem defines the square of the hypotenuse (diagonal) of a triangle with a right angle as the sum of the squares of the other two sides:

c2 = a2 + b2
c2 = 42 + 42
c2 = 32
c = \( \sqrt{32} \) = \( \sqrt{16 x 2} \) = \( \sqrt{16} \) \( \sqrt{2} \)
c = 4\( \sqrt{2} \)


4

Solve for x:
7x - 8 > \( \frac{x}{3} \)

45% Answer Correctly
x > 1\(\frac{1}{5}\)
x > \(\frac{6}{19}\)
x > \(\frac{24}{37}\)
x > -9

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.

7x - 8 > \( \frac{x}{3} \)
3 x (7x - 8) > x
(3 x 7x) + (3 x -8) > x
21x - 24 > x
21x - 24 - x > 0
21x - x > 24
20x > 24
x > \( \frac{24}{20} \)
x > 1\(\frac{1}{5}\)


5

A right angle measures:

91% Answer Correctly

90°

45°

360°

180°


Solution

A right angle measures 90 degrees and is the intersection of two perpendicular lines. In diagrams, a right angle is indicated by a small box completing a square with the perpendicular lines.
