1

If angle a = 62° and angle b = 45° what is the length of angle c?

71% Answer Correctly
107°
99°
91°
73°

Solution

The sum of the interior angles of a triangle is 180°:
180° = a° + b° + c°
c° = 180° - a° - b°
c° = 180° - 62° - 45° = 73°


2

This diagram represents two parallel lines with a transversal. If z° = 27, what is the value of y°?

73% Answer Correctly
157
17
153
26

Solution

For parallel lines with a transversal, the following relationships apply:

  • angles in the same position on different parallel lines equal each other (a° = w°, b° = x°, c° = z°, d° = y°)
  • alternate interior angles are equal (a° = z°, b° = y°, c° = w°, d° = x°)
  • 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°)

Applying these relationships starting with z° = 27, the value of y° is 153.


3

The endpoints of this line segment are at (-2, 3) and (2, -3). What is the slope of this line?

46% Answer Correctly
-1
-1\(\frac{1}{2}\)
1\(\frac{1}{2}\)
3

Solution

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, 3) and (2, -3) so the slope becomes:

m = \( \frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x} \) = \( \frac{(-3.0) - (3.0)}{(2) - (-2)} \) = \( \frac{-6}{4} \)
m = -1\(\frac{1}{2}\)


4

Simplify (8a)(6ab) - (6a2)(3b).

62% Answer Correctly
126a2b
30a2b
66a2b
126ab2

Solution

To multiply monomials, multiply the coefficients (the numbers that come before the variables) of each term, add the exponents of like variables, and multiply the different variables together.

(8a)(6ab) - (6a2)(3b)
(8 x 6)(a x a x b) - (6 x 3)(a2 x b)
(48)(a1+1 x b) - (18)(a2b)
48a2b - 18a2b
30a2b


5

If the base of this triangle is 3 and the height is 7, what is the area?

58% Answer Correctly
65
52\(\frac{1}{2}\)
10\(\frac{1}{2}\)
52

Solution

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

a = ½bh
a = ½ x 3 x 7 = \( \frac{21}{2} \) = 10\(\frac{1}{2}\)
