If angle a = 67° and angle b = 38° what is the length of angle d?
113° | |
115° | |
132° | |
121° |
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°
Order the following types of angle from least number of degrees to most number of degrees.

An acute angle measures less than 90°, a right angle measures 90°, and an obtuse angle measures more than 90°.
If the area of this square is 16, what is the length of one of the diagonals?
9\( \sqrt{2} \) | |
3\( \sqrt{2} \) | |
4\( \sqrt{2} \) | |
6\( \sqrt{2} \) |
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\( \sqrt{2} \)
Solve for x:
7x - 8 > \( \frac{x}{3} \)
x > 1\(\frac{1}{5}\) | |
x > \(\frac{6}{19}\) | |
x > \(\frac{24}{37}\) | |
x > -9 |
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\(\frac{1}{5}\)
A right angle measures:
90° |
|
45° |
|
360° |
|
180° |
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.
