Solve for z:
5z - 8 > \( \frac{z}{3} \)

44% Answer Correctly
z > 1\(\frac{5}{7}\)
z > -1\(\frac{5}{43}\)
z > 9
z > 2\(\frac{2}{3}\)

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.

5z - 8 > \( \frac{z}{3} \)
3 x (5z - 8) > z
(3 x 5z) + (3 x -8) > z
15z - 24 > z
15z - 24 - z > 0
15z - z > 24
14z > 24
z > \( \frac{24}{14} \)
z > 1\(\frac{5}{7}\)

If a = c = 8, b = d = 5, and the blue angle = 71°, what is the area of this parallelogram?

65% Answer Correctly
20
40
16
56

Solution

The area of a parallelogram is equal to its length x width:

a = l x w
a = a x b
a = 8 x 5
a = 40


3

Which of the following is not true about both rectangles and squares?

63% Answer Correctly

the lengths of all sides are equal

all interior angles are right angles

the perimeter is the sum of the lengths of all four sides

the area is length x width


Solution

A rectangle is a parallelogram containing four right angles. Opposite sides (a = c, b = d) are equal and the perimeter is the sum of the lengths of all sides (a + b + c + d) or, comonly, 2 x length x width. The area of a rectangle is length x width. A square is a rectangle with four equal length sides. The perimeter of a square is 4 x length of one side (4s) and the area is the length of one side squared (s2).


4

If angle a = 61° and angle b = 59° what is the length of angle c?

70% Answer Correctly
55°
60°
102°
98°

Solution

The sum of the interior angles of a triangle is 180°:
180° = a° + b° + c°
c° = 180° - a° - b°
c° = 180° - 61° - 59° = 60°


5

If the length of AB equals the length of BD, point B __________ this line segment.

45% Answer Correctly

trisects

midpoints

intersects

bisects


Solution

A line segment is a portion of a line with a measurable length. The midpoint of a line segment is the point exactly halfway between the endpoints. The midpoint bisects (cuts in half) the line segment.
