1

If angle a = 28° and angle b = 50° what is the length of angle c?

71% Answer Correctly
102°
95°
92°
97°

Solution

The sum of the interior angles of a triangle is 180°:
180° = a° + b° + c°
c° = 180° - a° - b°
c° = 180° - 28° - 50° = 102°


2

The formula for volume of a cube in terms of height (h), length (l), and width (w) is which of the following?

67% Answer Correctly

2lw x 2wh + 2lh

h2 x l2 x w2

lw x wh + lh

h x l x w


Solution

A cube is a rectangular solid box with a height (h), length (l), and width (w). The volume is h x l x w and the surface area is 2lw x 2wh + 2lh.


3

When two lines intersect, adjacent angles are __________ (they add up to 180°) and angles across from either other are __________ (they're equal).

61% Answer Correctly

vertical, supplementary

obtuse, acute

supplementary, vertical

acute, obtuse


Solution

Angles around a line add up to 180°. Angles around a point add up to 360°. When two lines intersect, adjacent angles are supplementary (they add up to 180°) and angles across from either other are vertical (they're equal).


4

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

63% Answer Correctly

all interior angles are right angles

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

the lengths of all sides are equal

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).


5

Solve for b:
4b - 4 = 8 + 5b

59% Answer Correctly
-12
\(\frac{1}{2}\)
\(\frac{3}{8}\)
-\(\frac{1}{9}\)

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 equal sign and the answer on the other.

4b - 4 = 8 + 5b
4b = 8 + 5b + 4
4b - 5b = 8 + 4
-b = 12
b = \( \frac{12}{-1} \)
b = -12
