If angle a = 52° and angle b = 61° what is the length of angle d?

56% Answer Correctly
148°
128°
139°
124°

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° - 52° - 61° = 67°

So, d° = 61° + 67° = 128°

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° - 52° = 128°

Simplify (y + 2)(y - 6)

63% Answer Correctly
y2 + 8y + 12
y2 - 4y - 12
y2 - 8y + 12
y2 + 4y - 12

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:

(y + 2)(y - 6)
(y x y) + (y x -6) + (2 x y) + (2 x -6)
y2 - 6y + 2y - 12
y2 - 4y - 12


3

A(n) __________ is to a parallelogram as a square is to a rectangle.

51% Answer Correctly

quadrilateral

rhombus

triangle

trapezoid


Solution

A rhombus is a parallelogram with four equal-length sides. A square is a rectangle with four equal-length sides.


4

The dimensions of this cube are height (h) = 1, length (l) = 7, and width (w) = 5. What is the volume?

83% Answer Correctly
108
35
252
96

Solution

The volume of a cube is height x length x width:

v = h x l x w
v = 1 x 7 x 5
v = 35


5

Which of the following is not required to define the slope-intercept equation for a line?

42% Answer Correctly

slope

y-intercept

\({\Delta y \over \Delta x}\)

x-intercept


Solution

A line on the coordinate grid can be defined by a slope-intercept equation: y = mx + b. For a given value of x, the value of y can be determined given the slope (m) and y-intercept (b) of the line. The slope of a line is change in y over change in x, \({\Delta y \over \Delta x}\), and the y-intercept is the y-coordinate where the line crosses the vertical y-axis.
